- Microsoft Teams profiles can now display specific skills
- Showcase your attributes with an extended profile
Finding the right person for a specific task at work could soon be a lot easier thanks to a new update to Microsoft Teams.
The online collaboration platform is working on a new feature that will let users promote their vital skills and attributes directly in Teams via their Microsoft 365 profile.
Employees will now be able to list their skills on their Microsoft 365 profile card in Teams, giving colleagues and managers a quick overview of exactly why they would be good (or bad) for a particular job

In a Microsoft 365 roadmap post announcing the news, the company notes that it will “make it ‘easier to learn about colleagues, build meaningful connections and manage their own skills profile right from their daily work flow.’
The tool is listed as currently under development, but has an expected release date of March 2026, so users shouldn’t have too long to wait.
After the release, Microsoft says the feature will be available to Teams users on Windows and Mac worldwide.
The launch will be the latest in a series of recent releases aimed at making Microsoft Teams users more productive when using the service.
This includes adding the ability for users to save messages in their conversations and chats, meaning users no longer have to manually trawl back through long conversations to find the message they need.
The company also revealed configurable keyboard shortcuts that are finally coming to Microsoft Teams soon, giving users quick and easy access to the symbols, icons and others they may use regularly on a daily basis but sometimes aren’t close at hand when typing in a work environment.
