Big Mic, Camera and Record keys; Accept, Decline and Leave; Share with Previous, Next, Share It and Cancel to walk Teams’ share tray; a status strip; quick messages written into the open chat; a Chats knob that walks your recent chats (⌘G); Raise Hand. The keys use Teams’ own shortcuts, and the Mac clicks the commands that have none.
