Asking questions

Microsoft 365 has several ways that you could ask questions of people. The best place will often depend on the type of question.

Topic question

  • If your organisation is using Yammer, the associated community may be the right place to ask a question so that others may be able to answer can or other may be interested in the response
  • @mention the person that you hope will answer so that they are notified.
  • If the question is about a project then ask the question in the relevant Team/Channel as others may be able to answer or may be interested in the answer
  • @mention the person that you hope will answer so that they are notified
  • If a specific channel does not fit then use the General channel.

Private question for a specific person

  • If it is just for that person and not related to a project or topic that others may be interested in then message them directly in Teams.
