Support hashtags in channels and DMs
Allow clickable links on #hashtagged items ... in a channel or group, perform a search within that group.
For DMs and conversations, search all of your conversations

We have developed the app TagTeam for everyone to use for free - https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/office/WA200002829?tab=Overview would be happy if you try it out and give us some feedback - https://www.smarterbusiness.at/en/tagteam

On the backlog for over a year, will it ever make it to implementation?

Agree 100% with what Joe comments below on Feb 17, 2021.
At my office, this is one of the primary complaints about chat / posts. There is no way people will replace e-mail with chat, until old messages can be sorted into topics the way old e-mail can. Labelling messages or using hashtags would solve that problem.

While this might not seem like a huge priority, it is a viable short term alternative to the very important problem of organizing communication for teams with lots of projects, and would allow a team to manage multiple threads for multiple projects in a single channel (attaching communication by hashtag instead). There are a pile of OSS libraries for hashtag autocomplete on Github, is this really moving heaven and earth to get this implemented?

Any feedback on this request @Alex?

This should be combined with the ability to hashtag in the chat during a recording and have it bring you to that point in the recording.

These tags could be similar or the same as the organization's Yammer tags and ultimately tie out to Project Cortex topic cards.

how is it that your competitor can roll out functions like this at the drop of a hat yet it takes MS 4 years and its still not done.. is slack just a better product? this is kind of ridiculous

Could be a hashtag, but might work better with pre-set "tags" or "categories", (This gets round the issue of various different hashtags actually referring to the same thing eg #project vs #project_1 which likely refer to the same thing but are different hashtags).
So you could eg set up a "category" for Project 1 for user to 'tag' messages, and then have this easily searchable

We have records retention requirements. Sometimes this includes conversations that lead to a decision. It would be great if we could hashtag that with #record or something for findability

We (enterprise users) really miss this feature. Being able to hashtag meeting, thread , announcement/ etc with #subject will dramatically simplify the usage and improve usability of Teams.

Also strongly support hashtags being available. The more we use Teams the more important it is to be able to categorise content to find it easily later.

Just like the absence of chronological-sort-ordering in a Teams channel, I am likewise stunned that Teams does not provide #some-hashtag aggregation functionality by default. A shockingly absent feature. Please jump on this issue.

Teams does not support hashtags, at least not yet, in a way Twitter or Yammer uses them. You can add them to discussions, OneNotes or inside documents too (if you so wish to – but usually just include the document in Teams discussion and use hashtag in there)
