How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Forwarding message feature!

Title speaks for itself :) That would be really cool.

Love you, MT!

    I'm not impressed that this fairly fundamental functionality is still "under review"

    It would be great to be able to forward a message from one conversation to another. This works in chat app and it should also be possible in conversations.

    I was trying to move all our team conversations from a "free apps" to teams with great enthusiasm. I was expecting that all the regular feature that other similar apps have, would be having in Teams. But in the midway, now I am really surprised to see that there are lot of regular features absent in Teams. I will still try to push TEAMs forward. But I strongly recommend to have this feature added earliest.

    With other software (Skype chat), the conversations can be emailed to the participants. This is a GREAT FEATURE when you need to reference information discussed. The emails are usually single conversations (when you close out of a chat), and can be files on my laptop appropriately. I very much miss this feature now that we are using Teams exclusively for chatting

    quite ridiculous this does not exist yet. do you want to provide a viable and convincing alternative to whatsapp / telegram etc, or not?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    we need it! we always forward the message when using telegram. its too convenience.

  • Rolly commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Microsoft Teams I hope you can add forward options not only for messages but video, photos, etc. Get idea from WhatsApp, more user friendly than Teams so far.

    It would be great to be able to forward a voicemail message to another supervisor/manager so that they could hear the message themselves.

  • nomisswosz commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    yes, just like Telegram. I will bet that product manager of teams never used the Telegram.

    2005 Communicator had this, and so did its successors Lync and SFB, the messages could be saved as emails, and then forwarded from there. I see Teams not having this as a "bug" that needs to be fixed.

    It would be good if this could also apply to chats. Say I start a conversation with an individual, but it progresses and we decide to "promote" the conversation to a team channel. Problem I see with this is where in the chat history does the current conversation start.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I'll second that. Recently, if somebody starts conversation in wrong channel, there is no way back, but delete whole conversation and start again in appropriate channel. There shuld be some way to move whole conversation thread to another channel.
