As part of 2023, it is my role to move all files to move from disparaged systems and have all files live within Teams/Sharepoint. This has been an interesting process and my company is slowly adopting it. The one thing that I’ve run into is when you try to open the file when browsing it from teams. The biggest issue is that when someone chats you, in order to read the chat, you have to close the file that you had open. Bummer.

With that being said, you can tell teams to open the file automatically using the application like Word or Excel as opposed to opening the file within Teams. You can do this by doing the following:

Settings -> Files and Links -> File open preference -> Desktop App

It is a game changer! Happy Teamsing!
