How to Enable Suggested Replies in Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams suggested replies offer quick, pre-written answers based on your message content, helping you respond faster.
This feature uses AI to guess what you might want to say, like suggesting “Yes, I am” if someone asks if you’re free. It can significantly cut down your typing time.
You can turn suggested replies on or off directly within the Microsoft Teams app on Windows 11. Enabling them speeds up simple communication, while turning them off gives you complete control over every word you type.
Enable suggested replies in Microsoft Teams by going to Settings and more (three dots), then Settings, and checking the box for “Show suggested replies in chat” in the General tab. Uncheck the box to disable it.
