Developer API to read/create teams and channels in them.
Slack has dev api to list teams/channels and perform bunch of management operations. It would be great if there's something similar available in Microsoft Teams as well.
259 votesHi again. I received some irate messages about this :-( so wanted to address everyone’s questions around the “Create a Team” API.
We know how vital this is for everyone and everyone on the engineering floor knows it too. That’s why we’ve been working on it—BUT it’s not an easy answer. There are some internal dependences that we’re trying to overcome. When it’s closer to completely done, I’ll be sure to update you.
Thank you again for your support of Teams. I really value your feedback, enthusiasm, and patience. THANK YOU!
Sincerely,
Suphatra -
Assign members to channels
I might have a team called IT and channels of IT projects. So assigning members to channels would be great, since it's not the same for each project (channels).
159 votesHi everyone, can you provide more information on this request? I want to understand if this is the same ask as the ask for public/private teams, or if this is the common issue we get with people unaware they can invite people into a team using a distribution list email address. If you can respond to the thread here or tweet to me at @skprufo, that’d help a lot!

Skype chat - both ways
If someone write from Skype, I can read and answer, but I cant start a chat with Skype users.
112 votesIt looks like some people in the thread below have figured it out — we actually have this. You can start a chat both ways; the system will automatically recognize if this person is on Skype for Business or on Teams.
Thanks and let me know if you have any questions.

Fix Webhook API
Post cards using https://dev.outlook.com/Connectors/GetStarted or https://dev.outlook.com/Connectors/Reference as reference don't give the expecting results.
On Android:
- "text" value isn't shown...On Windows 10, Android, Mac and iPhone:
- "title" isn't format properly
- "themeColor" isn't rendered
- "potentialAction" aren't render like a button
- "section" seems to workIt could be very nice if the Webhooks is fully working and give the same result on every plateform.

There is a connector for GitHub but not GitLab.
It would be nice to have this available as other git repositories are available.....53 votes -
Support @ notifications in messages posted through web hook API
We have automated messages posted to a channel and the @notifications are considered normal text and no actual notification happen. Since no one is notified of messages in channels to begin with (waiting for https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public-preview/suggestions/16911520-notifications-for-all-messages-in-a-channel to be implemented), we'd at least need notifications to work.

Webhook needs to support forced notification a la "@channel", "@team", "@person"
Webhooks should have a property to force notification a la "@channel", "@team", "@person". I have been using Slack webhooks for notifications out of our monitoring platform and can use "@" tags to make sure that the correct channels get the data and if the condition is severe, notify "@channel".

Allow to post a reply to a conversation via REST
Currently it is quite easy to start a conversation via the webhook of a channel.
It would be great if the POST of this webhook would return an conversation id. This id could then be used in a subsequent request to reply to the initial conversation.

Enable threading of Connector updates such as Webhooks
We've just finished building a webhook connector that will be giving us work item updates from our on-prem TFS. This is very exciting, however, every update comes in as a new thread. This is less exciting. We need the ability for, once a work item exists in a thread in the chat, for all work item updates pertaining to that work item to be threaded under that initial message. Otherwise, chaos. Perhaps the ability to arbitrarily define and ID for each webhook message, and when the same ID is re-used, it becones threaded?

HUBOT support
I would like support for hubot: https://hubot.github.com
This could make the switch from Slack or FLowdock a lot easier.

public teams - Not working
I created a Public Team. I asked people within my organization if they could see the team, they could not. Please let me know when this will be fixed.
27 votesHi there, if this is happening to you, please submit your user logs to me and any other visuals or attachments you might have. My email is sparavi (at) Microsoft (dot) com.
Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this quickly. Thanks for your patience!

Multi-company groups
I really like Microsoft Teams, but i think it could be better working with people from any company using this app.

Our app developers want to be able to type code directly and retain formatting. This is supported in Slack/Hip Chat.

Show URL previews for messages from Connectors
When I post a URL as a user, Teams automatically expands the message to include a URL preview. When a webhook posts the same thing, the URL remains plain text.
The webhook should be able to opt in to the same "unfurling" treatment that the user's message received.

Saving email in Teams
It's possible to save email form outlook to microsoft team as work to do or email to read or to assign a work to another person ecc ecc
20 votesYes, you can attach the email into your message using the attachment icon in your compose box. Then you can write a message and “@” tag your colleague with the to-do item. If you need to save the item for yourself as an action, you can use the bookmark icon in the message (once its posted) and it will save to your “Saved” — of which you can access by clicking your profile photo and choosing “Saved” in the flyout. Then you’ll see all your Saved items.

Editing a comment - cannot hit ENTER to skip to the next line.
When writing a new comment, I am able to use ENTER to skip to the next line. However, when I edit the same comment, I cannot use ENTER to skip to the next line. Please fix.

Remember two step verification like other services. Having to re-verify everytime I log back into the Teams app is horrible.

Sorry you’ve had a hard time with the log in process, check with your IT Department as they may have control over this.
Thank you,

Full API to write/receive messages so we can create new clients or integrate it into other tools
Slack has a full API, so people can write their own client apps or integrate Slack messaging into existing apps. Would be great to have something similar. Especially combined with giving external users access to Teams.
