Your pronouns are available to people at your work or school when they use Microsoft 365. Once you add your pronouns, anyone that has an account at your work or school, including guest accounts, can see the information. (Currently this is only visible in Outlook for the Web and Teams.)

Microsoft’s documentation for the pronoun feature says that “the simple act of using the right pronouns for one another can help build trust and improve communication among colleagues.” Microsoft goes on to highlight that “Whether or not to share or publicly display pronouns is always up to an individual. Pronouns should never be assigned to one person by another person. It should be up to the person using them to decide when, where, and which pronouns are used – including whether to use this feature.”

SLCC also offers resources explaining, defining, and supporting the use of Pronouns. Please see our Pronouns page for more information.

Instructions on how to add Pronouns:

1. Go to Teams and open your profile card. To open your profile card in Teams, you can select your profile picture in the upper right corner in Teams.
2. On your profile, select + Pronouns or the pronouns listed below your name.

 

3. To add or change your pronouns, select from the examples (only available in English), or enter your own. To delete, remove your pronouns. In the example below, Elvia Atkins has added She/Her.

4. Select Save and then Got it. Changes are updated immediately.
