    Another vote for this. I need to post something to myself so it appears as latest chat. Slack did this perfectly.

    It's also helpful for writing notes or even just transferring files from phone to computer or saving important information

    Pretty lame that I can't send a note to myself. Easy feature and super useful. Slack is better!!

    This idea has been around for almost 3 years. Could we get a response on this one Microsoft?

    Add me to the list, this would be a HUGE feature-add for me!

    Please ADD!!! This would be great for testing purposes and for taking quick notes/reminders within teams

    I've encountered a "Just me" group conversation when saving a message. A "Just me" chat will appear to your chat list. It is similar to a group conversation where you are the only member. Can't rename the group chat though.

    I would like to see this feature added. A few times i've wanted to test features of Teams without actually having to send a message to someone else. Today i wanted to test how to use quotes correctly, without accidentally hitting send, and sending it improperly formatted to another colleague, and it seems i can't. Please add this feature for testing features such as this.

    Slack has a dedicated channel for this (no meeting required!), and not having it on Teams is awkward. I use Linux/iOS/Windows, and 'notes to self' are the quickest way to share links, files, etc. across all systems. Installing plugins is not an option, as I work at a large institution, and I cannot customize anything on my end.
    The work-around with the meeting mentioned by @JacobMendlovic works for text, but sharing files is apparently slow (it's been several minutes for a 50kB(!) file so I wonder whether this works at all) - on Slack this is virtually instantaneous.
