Do you find it challenging to stay on top of your tasks and meetings within Microsoft Teams? Managing multiple projects and a busy work schedule can make it a daily struggle.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to easily set up recurring reminders in Microsoft Teams, to streamline your workflow and productivity.
How to Set Up Recurring Reminders in Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams doesn’t have a built-in feature to set Teams meeting reminders for tasks and calls.
But, there are many authorized apps that you can add to your app to set recurring reminders such as Remind, Remind me, Snooze Bot, etc.
Here, we’ll be using the Remind app to guide you through the process:
1. Open the Microsoft Teams app on your desktop and click on Apps in the sidebar menu.
2. In the Apps list, search and select Remind.
3. Then, click on Add and the app will appear in your sidebar menu.
4. Now, go back to the chat or channel you want to set reminders for.
5. Click on the three dots on that chat and select More Actions.
6. Choose Remind me about this and set the date and time at which you want to be reminded of a certain task. You’ll receive a chat from the app to confirm that the reminder has been set.
7. To add recurring reminders, go to the Reminder app chat, type /remind, and then specify the task’s details and end with – recurring. For example – /remind to call mom at 6.00 pm – recurring daily.
The app will set a recurring reminder and send a confirmation reply to you.
