Use Markdown to share code

You can format and share your code on Teams.

• To add an inline block of code, start and end the text with a backtick (` ) key, which is located next to the 1 on your keyboard, followed by a space. However, some users may have difficulty accessing the backtick key on their keyboard. In that case, you can use one of the following alternate keys to start an inline code block:

  1. Shift+`+Space

  2. Shift+Alt+´

  3. Use the keyboard manager Ukelele.

After you press one of these keys, you can type your code and then press the same key again to end the code block.

• To add a multi-line block of code, preface your text with ``` and then paste it into your compose box.

You'll get a live preview of your code, and you can undo any formatting by hitting Ctrl+Z.
