We really need to be able to convert Channels into Teams and Teams into Channels

Please add an ability to tag words to follow in Teams. In many chat applications it is possible to add a list of words to follow and to get notification if specific word is mentioned in anywhere in Teams you are included.

For example if you are responsible for certain product, it would be useful to be able to follow any mentions related to that product. So if anyone anywhere in Teams (conversations, files, notes etc) mentions you product name, you will get notified.

Provide the ability to edit the description for hyperlink like in other Microsoft products. Currently if you past a hyperlink to a chat or in a Wiki it show the full path, which is clunky and looks unprofessional.

Like the fact you can now classify a Chat as being Urgent and the recipient receives a notice every 2 minutes until they acknowledge the Chat. However, you can only use this option when Chatting with one person. Due to the need for business continuity planning and/or disaster recovery notifications, would like to see the capability where you could @mention the Team to allow an entire Team to be notified of an issue/activation of the BCP or declaration of a disaster. At a minimum, would like to see where you could send an Urgent chat to multiple people.

Our conversations often start 1+1 and then we need to loop in another person. The new person cannot see the conversation history.

Currently you must start a group chat which allows new users to see the convo in its entirety. then copy and paste the missing information for the new person. This is becoming a problem!

There needs to be a way to completely remove the "Files" tab from Teams and disable chat attachments as well, so users within the organization cannot share files.

We have a very strict structure for our internal file sharing and data organization, and cannot have even our internal users sharing files back and forth.

If this feature doesn't get added we will be forced to abandon Teams completely and go with a 3rd party or open source route.

It's a real bummer to not be able to track changes when files are edited in MS teams. I am a teacher and I think this feature is so important for me to give students feedback (my edits) on the work they submitted.

Hope to see this feature soon!

Entry/exit announcements for people who join with the Teams app. Right now it is only for the those who dial in from a phone. The ability to turn on and off per meeting would be nice as well.

When using chat it would be good to be able to see if a recipient[has read the chat message (Like blue ticks on Whatsapp)

reply to message. for example, if a person sent you multiple message, the recipient should be allowed to reply on that specific message

Id like to be able to chat and review files at the same time. Its incredibly clunky to have to constantly navigate back and forth between screens and makes it difficult to use. I should be able to have the chat feature opened while navigating between teams, channels and documents.

I would like to create a team that is for everyone in the organization. I can do this already with dynamic membership. The purpose would be to provide access to team members to see documentation such as employee manuals, corporate policies, and other read-only content. Admins can add/delete material while everyone else has read-only access.

Currently, the analytics of a team is restricted to seeing how many members are active. However, there is no way to see who is active and who is not active. It would be good if team owners could see which users have been active and who hasn't so that they can find out firstly why they are not active and to also enforce the adoption of the use of teams.

Allowing drag and drop a email message or email attachment direct into Teams File.

It would be great if once a team was created, we could have an option to expand the team, which would list all the members in the team, and under each team member, it would display their custom User status. Ex Do not Disturb, Working on Rush Plan , Need Work Ect.

In order to see everyones current status note you have to hover over each one.

Every team and channel has a description that can be entered, yet there doesn't seem to be any way to see that description unless you can edit. How about making the description visible under the title in the right window? Maybe even a setting that allows me to make descriptions visible or not (on/off switch).
