Moderated Opening files in Teams and then getting back to call and chat
Hi people,
My workplace loves using Teams and sharing files in it. I am to work on a shared google excel doc. After having found it I then went to open it and got a message from Jaws22 telling me I may not be able to return to Teams using the keyboard after the document is open. The message was right, the excel doc opens however I then need to ring the folks on the list using the teams call feature but there is no way of getting back to either the teams call or chat feature.
I was able to get around this by sharing the document with myself thereby having it in a different location freeing up teams. Does anyone know if there is another solution to this problem please?
I am running out of foul words to describe teams. I am stuck with it so want to find a way of making it work and saving my sanity
With thanks
Murray
When you get to the file, you want to use the context menu to open it in the Excel desktop app, not in teams. Better yet, go into settings and set files to always open in their respective apps.
I’ve listened to a number of FS podcasts on using teams, but actually find the Microsoft accessibility pages more helpful.
Screen reader support for Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Support
Here is the specific page on working with files in Teams: Use a screen reader to work with files in Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Support
You may also be able to sync the folder where these are being store to OneDrive, allowing you to access the files that way.

Hi there. I suspect that what is happening is the file is being opened in an inaccessible viewer in Teams. The best way to get around this would be to download the file directly to your PC, and then open it in the native app, therefore bypassing the Teams Viewer.
Teams is often times inconsistent, and I grow frustrated with it more and more as well.
