Appearance
Adjust how Microsoft Teams chats should appear in Jira work items to match individual preferences.
You can select between “comfy” and “compact”.
-
Compact view displays only plain text in the related Teams panel.
-
Comfy mode arranges chats like in Microsoft Teams, showing icons and chat bubbles in different colors for sender and receiver.
(Personal) notifications
This notification type covers personal Microsoft Teams alerts.
When a team member mentions you in a work item or assigns one to you, the Smart Connect bot notifies you in a dedicated Teams chat (1:1).
You must install our Teams app (Smart Connect bot) to use this feature.
Please note: You won't get notified about updates you made yourself.
Signatures
In your Microsoft 365 settings, set an email signature Jira should use.
Copy your Outlook signature here. Add more if needed.
