Several settings are unique to each individual Teams user. I like to think of these as your user settings; you can also think of them as your profile settings. These settings are found in the drop-down menu that appears when you click your profile image in the top-right corner of the Teams window, as shown in Figure 3-11.

You can use this menu to:

 Set your current status such as Available, Do Not Disturb, and Away. I sometimes even set my status to Appear Away so that I can get work done without people knowing I am busy on my computer.

 Set your status message so that others see a message and know what you are up to or what you want people to know. For example, I sometimes set this to the music I am listening to or a quote that I find particularly captures my current mood.FIGURE 3-11: The profile drop-down menu.

 View chats and messages you have saved throughout Teams.

 Open your profile settings (more on this shortly).

 Adjust your zoom settings to zoom in and make items in your Teams window bigger or zoom out to make things smaller.

 Change your keyboard shortcuts so you can maneuver around Teams with a few taps of your keyboard.

 Learn more about Teams such as the version number you are currently using and legal notices.

 Check for any updates to Teams so that you can be sure you have the latest version.

 Download the mobile app so that you can have Teams on your smartphone and in your pocket so that you are never out of touch.

 Sign out of Teams. I rarely do this when using Teams normally, but have used it plenty of times while writing this book when I’ve needed to sign in and out of various accounts. You might use this if you are a member of multiple organizations and you need to sign into one account or the other.

When you select the Settings option from your profile menu, you can change several options that are specific to your account. The settings menu, shown in Figure 3-12, includes settings for six different categories: General, Privacy, Notifications, Devices, Permissions, and Calls. I provide a brief overview of these sections here, and cover these settings in more detail throughout the book. For example, in Chapter 8, I cover setting up your notifications.
