Whether you are done for the day after an exhaustive Teams meeting or merely want to free up some computer resources, knowing how to close Microsoft Teams properly is essential. This guide will provide you with simple steps to achieve this task.
Steps on Closing Microsoft Teams
Step 1: Locate the Teams icon
Go to your computer’s Window taskbar and locate the Microsoft Teams logo (a purple icon).
Step 2: Right-click on the Teams icon
Perform a right-click on this icon. This will bring up a pop-up menu.
Step 3: Select ‘Quit’
From the menu that surfaces, select the ‘Quit’ option. This will shut down the Microsoft Teams application on your computer.
Remember, merely minimizing the Teams app window does not close it. It will continue running in the background, potentially slowing down your computer. Therefore, it’s important to quit the app using the procedures outlined above.
Conclusion
Closing Microsoft Teams doesn’t need to be a complex task. With these simple steps, you can save system resources and maintain an optimal system performance. Remember, the key is to choose the ‘Quit’ option to completely close the Microsoft Teams app.
