Adding pronouns in Microsoft Teams and Outlook

News item

There is a new feature within Microsoft Teams and Outlook: adding pronouns. This feature allows you to share your pronouns so that colleagues can easily see and respect them. By sharing your pronouns, you help others address you correctly and avoid unintentional mistakes.

How do you set your pronouns?

  1. Go to your profile in Microsoft Teams by clicking on your photo/initials at the top right inside.
  2. Click on your name/email next to your photo.
  3. Under your name, you have option to enter your pronouns. (For example, he/him, she/her, they/them)
  4. Click on ‘Save’.
  5. From now on, this information will be available to everyone within Microsoft Teams and Outlook.

How can you see the pronouns?

Hover your mouse over a photo or initials within Teams or Outlook, a pop-up will appear showing them.
