Links/attachments in chat
If you attach an item to a chat it will be saved in the files section of the channel. But if you are chatting about a document and you want to reference it you do not want to save it to the channel as it is already in another folder of the SP Site. To create a copy in the channel does not make sense as you are creating duplicates. a link would be the solution.

Browser/OS independent desktop notifications using HTML5
Not sure about the desktop clients because there isn't one available for my operating system. However, the web app is essentially unfit for purpose because I can't tell when anyone is trying to contact me unless I sit there, constantly staring at the app.
379 votesThis is still being worked upon and making good progress! Stay tuned for additional updates.

Add Cortana
Imagine this chat conversation between two users:
Patrick : Sales is doing great now...
James : Yes but I wonder where we are growing?
Patrick: @Cortana Show me revenue by country in October 2016
Cortana: [Shows a graph with top selling countries with a link to the Power BI report]
James: @Cortana What product sells best in Sweden?
Cortana: [Answers with text] "Superduper Sport Shoe" has most revenue in Sweden for October 2016.Now imagine adding in a bot that can answer questions about inventory or even a procurement bot...
371 votesThis feature request is still being worked upon.
I am still trying to get details on what we could expect for Cortana in Teams and will share examples once something is available.

Slow performance and high memory consumption
This may technically be a bug but I'll add this anyway as a blanket item. The performance of the desktop client is just abysmal in my experience.
Clicking around constantly freezes the UI, and typing is painfully slow.
323 votesHi guys! Thanks for submitting this. I totally hear you and have experienced this as well.
The good news is, we’re actively working on this. We recently pushed an update that improved performance when channel switching and scrolling. So this should be considerably better for you.
We’ll continue to make improvements on performance, so stay tuned for updates.
Keep the suggestions coming and thank you for helping us make Teams awesome!
Sincerely,

Windows app should be in the Windows store
Even if there won't be a modern UWP app for Teams, the Win32 app should be available through the Microsoft Store so it is discoverable by Windows 10 users (that's where I looked first, with no luck of course).
288 votesThis feature is still in the works. There was some adjustments to the overall strategy.
I’ll try to get some additional details and share them with you.-Warren

Adding Room devices to a Teams Live Event.
During a Teams Live Event we can either take the TeamClients or a RTMP encoder as streaming source. It would be great to gain the ability to add SIP-endpoints or Skype Room system too.
Being able to stream from any SIP device is the missing puzzle piece in an already great interrop solution.
Imaging being able to use any video conferences room as Broadcast studio?I`m sure this would empower the Interrop soloution offer by Polycom, Pexip and BlueJeans a lot.
Currently the only workaround is to use RTMP, but the workflow is to bad for the enduser.
286 votesThe team is working on this. With regard to devices to support, please continue adding your comments about which devices and scenarios are higher-priority for you.

data retention
on the settings there needs to be something for enterprise data retention. e.g. after 60 or 90 days data is purged off, or conversations roll off.

Ability to Copy a Team
It would be really useful to copy a team with all Channels and files/tabs associated, this way we could create a template and copy it when creating new teams
239 votesWe’ve heard your suggestions and are working on the ability to clone an existing team using a template. When released, if you were to click on Add Team, then Create a Team, you would get the UI pop up that prompts you to “Create your Team” but, if you look to the bottom of the UI you would see the option to choose “Create a team using an existing team as a template”! Once you select that option, you would be able choose which channels, team settings, apps, and members to inherit via a simple setup wizard.
Look for this feature to release by the end of the calendar year! And thank you all for the great feedback. -Warren -
Desktop App needs to allow the Font to be adjusted
We have a number of users who are struggling with the font size the desktop app, be great if it could be adjusted. Its fine on the web app.
235 votesHi guys, turns out that we put this on the previous release notes but it actually isn’t releasing until this week.
I’m really sorry! I hope you all weren’t too affected.
Some of you have pinged me individually on this, I’ll make sure to let you know on email/Twitter too. I’ll update this item back to complete once the feature is out.
Thank you so much for your feedback and engagement, and please keep helping us make this product great!

Dark theme problems!
See thread for issues related to dark theme. Here are some that are noted:
In dark theme, the warning messages are quite unreadable in the private messaging window
When an email is sent in from Outlook on the Web when I’m using the dark theme, the text in the email is very dark as per the original email. When viewing this email with Teams using the default (light) theme, it looks great.
In Teams chat, no way to turn text back to WHITE, when using the dark theme.
Using the dark theme, I have to hunt around a bit to…

"What's Changed" overlay (Coachmarks)
You should have a "what's changed" overlay everytime it updates, or at least a pinned topic on this page with a summary of the changelogs.
Given that it is a new product, some updates might include the missing feature that a team is waiting to switch over to Teams and it would be good to be able to discover this.202 votesI’m super excited about this one! This should help the daily user experience tremendously. Looking forward to bringing this to you.

Battery life on iOS & Android
According to iOS Battery report, Teams is responsible for 24% of my battery usage. I am not actively running or using the program, so I assume this is related to background tasks / notifications.
190 votesWe are continually working on improving battery life. One thing that may help in the meantime is using Dark theme, which was a top mobile request added to Teams mobile in February.
Thanks!

Advance Whiteboard Features
Advance whiteboard features would add massive value to remote teams like icon & photo finder, wireframes templates, idea voting,web page capture or via URL, prebuilt templates (eg.Strategy, Agile, ideation, mind maps, sixsigma tools...)... A good inspiration can be found in Realtimeboard or Mural.
150 votesWe are working on improving the Microsoft Whiteboard in Teams to include new features including sticky notes, pen and ink, and drag and drop capabilities. These features will enable team members who don’t have access to a touchscreen or Surface Hub to participate in whiteboarding sessions during Teams meetings.
