When I need to update something, there\u2019s no need to send an updated copy; and no one needs to figure out if they\u2019re looking at the \u201cright\u201d version. Click the link now, and you have the right version. But there are certainly scenarios where you\u2019d have attachments to share in Teams \u2013 especially if you interact with people outside of the organization. And you <em>used<\/em> to have to save the attachment and then share it into Teams. Not anymore \u2013 you can now drag attachments directly from Outlook into Teams (this works with the Teams web client too \u2013 but you cannot use the Outlook web client for this method. The message with an attachment needs to be opened in Outlook).<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got multiple monitors, this is easier \u2026 but, if not, shrink the Outlook window so you can see both the message and Teams. Then drag the attachment icon into the message composition box in Teams. You\u2019ll see text that says \u201cDrop your files here\u201d appear in Teams.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"964\" height=\"1026\" class=\"wp-image-7399\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/word-image.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/word-image.png 964w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/word-image-282x300.png 282w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/word-image-962x1024.png 962w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/word-image-768x817.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/word-image-750x798.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 964px) 100vw, 964px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Release the mouse, and the file will be uploaded to Teams.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"851\" height=\"312\" class=\"wp-image-7400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/word-image-1.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/word-image-1.png 851w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/word-image-1-300x110.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/word-image-1-768x282.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/word-image-1-750x275.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 851px) 100vw, 851px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can\u2019t say I\u2019ve needed to get an Outlook attachment into Teams myself \u2013 I try to store my files in OneDrive and e-mail links instead of e-mailing a copy of the file.
