Who Can Launch Games in Microsoft Teams?
The short answer is yes and no—it depends on the type of game. All team members can start and play instant social games, such as Chess, Battleship, and Checkers. However, workspace admins are the only ones who can schedule games like puzzle games and predictors to be played across company channels at specific times.
This structure allows flexibility for employees to engage with games freely while ensuring that scheduled activities align with team-wide or company-wide events.
How to Launch a Game in Microsoft Teams?
Once GUUL is added to your Microsoft Teams workspace, you have multiple ways to start a game:
- Use Commands in Microsoft Teams – Launch games directly in team channels or direct messages by typing the appropriate command.
- Go to the Games – Browse available games, select your favorite, and invite colleagues to join.
- Schedule Company-Wide Games – If you’re an admin, you can set up games like puzzle games (Find The Word, Mathle, and Sudoku) or predictor games in advance for the entire team to play at a designated time.
This ensures that games are always accessible, whether you’re playing casually with colleagues or setting up scheduled challenges to boost team engagement.
