Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a new line in Teams without sending the message?

Press Shift+Enter to create a new line in your message. Pressing Enter alone will send the message immediately.

Can I change Teams so Enter creates a new line instead of sending?

In Microsoft Teams, you can switch to the compose box format mode by clicking the Format button (A with a paintbrush) below the message box. In format mode, Enter creates a new line and you send with the Send button or Ctrl+Enter.

Does Shift+Enter work in Teams channels too?
