slash commands are a must-have
Slash commands for just about every type of function are a must have. They are familiar and easy to use without having to touch your mouse, they are UI-agnostic. Admittedly not terribly discoverable – but the UI is even worse, as their is no real option for auto-completion of UI elements, now is there?

Improve chat history search
It looks like those designing the Chat are not really using it. Searching the chat history is still an awful experience:
1. When you are in a conversation with a person and want to search for something, you want BY DEFAULT the results from the conversation with THAT person. But no, the smart designer of Chat was thinking to flood you first with a lot of results and then to ask you for few additional clicks to filter what you need...
Please change the default to show the results for the current conversation or add another quick find or provide…707 votesThis feature request has now moved to “working on it”. The team is actively working on this request and I will share more details as they become available.

Command-Line Interface to Open Directly in a Chat Thread
Skype for Business has a command line interface (CLI) where a the program can be launched and go directly to an IM chat for a specific contact. The command line for Skype is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\lync.exe" sip:%who%@BigCorpration.com

Please implement in Teams.

Main Tab for saved/tagged items

Show available status in PowerBar
When I type a users name in the PowerBar to message them using e.g. @mark, their available status is not shown (i.e. green tick, out of office, etc) which would be really useful to quickly check someone's availability to talk.
