Place Saved Conversations Top Left Navigation
"Saved" conversations should appear under "Activity" or somewhere else in the left bar navigation as shown in the screenshot below.
Currently "Saved" appears in the sub menu of my profile

Either make Saved messages easily accessible OR provide the ability to create a Task (in To Do) from them. It's too easy to forget messages that require an action.

Would be very handy, I save a lot of messages and a one click menu would really make it more accessible

Great idea, I agree with this!
And I hope the "Saved" button shows number of saved messages. -

Absolutely agree with this! Saved is a great feature but highly under-used due to its "hidden" nature!

I want to be able to see last conversations of all types as I can on facebook messenger. Activity feed is basically spam and other views are ordered differently.
If I chat with 3 coworkers and in one team conversation, I am interested in only those 4 threads. I want to clearly see those.

Love the idea. The biggest gripe I have with Teams right now is that you can easily lose track of important messages. Once you start connecting with many team members and channels, you will have lots of different messages to keep up. Currently, I end up marking messages as Unread if I need to get back to them because they take a longer time to resolve. Bookmarking/saving such messages would be another option, but only if such messages are in clear view (in the sidebar) and remind you that they still need your attention.
Killing several birds with one stone would be to make the side bar customizable. Allow the user to decide what is shown in the sidebar and in which sequence, very similar to the Windows taskbar on the bottom-right of Windows OS screens. That way users that are frequently using Planner or Wiki could also include these apps as quick direct links in the visible (!) side bar.

Agreed. The current location of saved items is well nigh undiscoverable, compared to the rest of the items on the sidebar.

I agree with M. Komiya, I'd prefer a Saved button on the sidebar with a purple (color coded to match the ribbon bookmark) badge. Perhaps not as a default option, but it definitely should be an option.
It would also be nice to be able to create tasks to add to the Saved posts list for those of us who want a minimal to-do list without leaving Teams. Make it a chat command, so I can type /tasks Call Stan [enter] to create a new saved post item to call Stan. I can unsave it when done to clear it.

I want the "Saved" button with a badge (the number of the saved messages) in the sidebar.

Another vote for this idea. If you open the Saved list, it populates the left hand list as if it was a left-nav button anyway, so why not just move it there?

This is closely related to the more general separate-windows idea here: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/16926739-multi-window-for-chats-and-more

I'd like to see conversations SUBJECT in saved-conversations prieview on left window, ideally in bold. Now I see Team, channel, poster and the beginning of the post.

It would be great if we could create groups of conversations

That!... it would be even better if you could have Saved Messages showed all the time. I've pretty big monitor and I would like them visible, always. I've migrated myself from working in Outlook to Teams and now I have to remember... to click on my face, go into Saved and find what I saved.

There needs to be a way to view the various conversations under a channel in a higher level view. Right now, you cannot search within a conversation (instead, across all), and if we work with this product for years, it will take us forever to scroll through years of conversations searching for our target.
If we could tag the initiating threat with a subject/synopsis and then have a view showing all synopses/subject that we could then expand and view the threads of conversation would be great.
Also, after years go on, it would be great to be able to visually view in a map style view all of the conversations and how they spawned.
Also, it would be great to be able to have the option to begin a new channel from a point in the conversation or even create a team from that conversation so there is a reference of history and origin.

Stop hiding the damned thing. Had to search online for how to find it.

Due to the nature of how we're using Teams, we have numerous conversations with different members happening in a very fast paced environment. Using Saved convos allows us to parcel them out, but getting there is not time friendly. Having an easy icon would help shave meaningful seconds.
