Hello, I am assigning shifts to my team via Microsoft Teams Shifts. I have had one request, but the others I had to assign. I am wondering how to see who has accepted the Shift so I know who to expect to show up? If it's not automatic, how do I accept a read receipt or something similar? Thank you!

    Hi @EAlberts

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum and sharing your experience.   

    I understand you're assigning shifts to your team using Microsoft Teams Shifts and would like to know who has accepted their assigned shifts. I’m happy to guide you through this. 

    Currently, Microsoft Teams Shifts does not send automatic read receipts or confirmations. However, you can still verify who has accepted their shifts by following these steps: 

    1. Open Microsoft Teams and go to the Shifts app. 
    2. Select the appropriate team from the dropdown menu at the top. 
    3. In the schedule view, locate the shift assigned to each team member. 
    4. If a team member has accepted their shift, you’ll see a checkmark icon on their shift card.

    If the checkmark is not visible, it means the shift is still pending acceptance. 

    Moreover, to help your team accept their shifts, you can share these steps with them: 

    1. Open the Shifts app in Microsoft Teams. 
    2. Go to My Shifts. 
    3. Tap or click the assigned shift. 
    4. Select Accept to confirm. 

    For more information that you can concern: 

    • You can send a message in Teams to remind team members to accept their shifts. 
    • If needed, follow up directly with those who haven’t accepted yet. 
    • While read receipts aren’t available, the checkmark icon provides a reliable way to track acceptance. 

    I hope this helps clarify the process. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. We're here to support you. 

    Thank you again for your patience and for choosing Microsoft Q&A forum. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can assist you with. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
