A private team isn't soooooo bad. You can at least have channels inside your private team to keep thoughts seperate. And I guess you can have more connectors and all of the other goodies?

Seriously? I came here looking for how to send messages to myself...you have to make a private team? Every other app I've used allows this. I'll just use Telegram!

Workaround - create a new team, make it private, and don't add any other members to it.
Send yourself messages in there. -

I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to open up a chat with yourself in teams. There may be no "I" in team but you can still be a team of 1.

I am having this same issue as we are working on transitioning from Slack to Teams and I use that feature to create todo lists for myself. Slack allows me to edit and cross things off my list as I complete them.
Are there any plans on making this an option as well?

I've never seen a chat program that cannot do this. My company recently stopped using Atlassian products and it was a very valuable feature that Hipchat offered.

I use this every day in Slack to keep a running record. We are starting to use Teams to see if it meets all of our needs and this feature is definitely missed!

In chat give the ability to post messages to our own space - which can be used as notes for future by every user. Slack provides that feature.

Allow me to send messages to myself on Microsoft Teams. I sometimes take notes or want to send a file or photo from my phone to desktop on Teams. Can't do that now because I can't send messages to my username.

it also helps when you want to see how something reads before sharing with the group (e.g. sending yourself a poll to make sure it shows up how you want it)

It seems silly that this isn't enabled by default.

This would be great, or at least the ability to post images to T-Bot the same way you would to a person. Sometimes it's important to see exactly how your message will be formatted before posting it to a large group.

On Slack, a user has the ability to send messages to themselves. It would be great to have a personal space that has OneNote, my files and messages I can send to myself as reminders or bits of information I want to keep.

I definitely think this kind of functionality comes in handy. Nice when you just need to paste a link or some text or anything really but don't want to create a separate document in OneDrive for it.

Yes, I accidentally added this idea as a duplicate. Do it.

Yes this is extremely useful when you want to take a quick note for yourself, and jump onto another computer or phone or whatever and see the text right there.
