Step 2: Mark Your VIPs

Step 3: Enjoy Your A-List

And that's it! Your priority contacts are all set up. Now, whenever you chat with them, you'll see a little star next to their name. It's like a secret handshake between you and your VIPs. Plus, Teams will make sure you see their messages first, so you'll never miss a beat.
