Send a Loop component in Microsoft Teams Free

Send a Loop component 

1. In the chat box, select Loop components   . 

2. Select the type of component you want to insert into your message. While you’re composing your message with a Loop component, the contents will only appear to you. You can choose from:
   ​​​​​​

   Table​​​​​​- Organize data in rows and columns

   Voting table- Collect votes or feedback from participants

   Code- Share and format code snippets

   Bulleted list- Create a list with bullet points

   Numbered list- Create an ordered list

   Kanban board- Visualize tasks across workflow stages

   Check list- Add checkboxes for task tracking

   Q&A Session- Capture and respond to questions

   Team Retrospective- Reflect on team performance and gather insights

   Task list- Assign and manage tasks with due dates

   Progress tracker- Monitor project milestones and completion status

3. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Enter content into the component. Depending on the privacy settings, you can also mention your contacts by typing their name or email address.​​​​​​​

4. When ready, select Send ​​​​​​​ .  

The Loop component will appear as a link that can open in a web browser and not appear inline in the chat.

Edit a Loop component 

1. Click where you want to add or edit content and start typing.

2. When editing, you can type / to insert things like the date or component. You can comment on existing text rather than edit it by typing //. The comment made is then attributed to you.

View and edit the file on Office.com 

Loop components are automatically saved to OneDrive once sent in chat. Here’s how to navigate from chat to the file on Office.com: 

1. Select the linked filename at the top your Loop component.

2. The file will open on Office.com, where you can view and co-edit the content.
