About Microsoft Teams and its shortcuts
Microsoft Teams carries chat, calls, meetings and files in one window, and its shortcuts divide along those lines. The meeting commands are the ones worth memorising, because muting, raising a hand and sharing a screen are all things you need to do without hunting for a toolbar that may have auto-hidden.
Teams has gone through a rebuild, and the classic and new clients do not share every command. The web version loses some to the browser, and administrators can restrict features along with the keys that reach them.
