Teams Storyline

image borrowed form Thurrott.com

A few weeks ago, Microsoft introduced a cool new feature to Teams called "Storyline."  

It looks as though it could be quite a little game changer for keeping up with colleagues, customers, and friends, as well as enabling them to keep up with what is going on in your world.

Microsoft explains it as "a feature that enhances team communication by allowing users to share updates, experiences, and milestones in a social media-like format within Teams and Viva Engage."

This feature has always been over on Engage and is now integrated with Teams!

So how did I get there?!?!

  1. Go to Teams
  2. Go to Chat
  3. Choose yourself, as if you might chat with yourself!
At the top, you will see ...

    • Your Name (You)
      • Chat
        • Yes, you can actually talk to yourself here, if you are so inclined
          • ... or just make notes to yourself for later.
      • Shared
        • Send a file or link to yourself in Chat and it will show up here.
        • Viewing someone else, these are files and links you shared with them.
      • Storyline
        • This is what I am talking about ... click it!
That's neat.  So how do I follow people?

If you are using the latest version of Teams, you kind of already are.  All you have to do is click their name from chat, like you did in the previous steps, and go to their Storyline.

If you want to be updated when someone adds something to their Storyline, simply click the "Follow Storyline" button, when you are viewing their Storyline.

Note:  That will activate notifications for their Storyline.   To adjust the how and when ...
    1. Go to your Storyline
    2. Choose Following
    3. Choose an Individual
    4. Look for the little bell next to "Following" and Click It!
. . .
