Mention one @Team2 from inside another Team1
I found a similar idea already posted but not as simply put.
I want to mention a team from within a different team.
Real world scenario: we have a team for gym members, and we're setting up another team which is likely to attract people from the same interest group as the gym. We want to @mention this new team inside the gym team, allowing people to click the mention and go to the team and join.

Crazy that this is not already in there. It exists for all other planner apps but not MS's app?!

Much needed, especially in Prod Support. If I have a chat or Channel going about an issue in the main product Support team and it is discovered that Feature Team A implemented something related to this. I can do a @feature Team A and they get a notification or something that they need to look at the channel or chat.

Seems simple as the current situation of @channel / @team are the same thing?! Only the people from within that team are going to see it.
Slack has an overall team groups set up where you can configure teams yourself in the admin portal for @mentions. Everyone in that team is then notified, would be awesome if we could do that as well.

Being able to tag people within your organisation to a task that is being worked where they are not currently assigned would be a great feature that Trello already has.

We have a similar need. We have a group called for example Devops, that group is split into multiple teams, for example Infrastructure,Operations and Development. We have one team "Team" that represents the group and all the sub teams are members of that group. We would like to, for example, be able to say @Operations to draw attention to an problem they need to look at or the same for any other sub team.

Guys, Shared channels basically have same functionality and they are comming. You @mention a shared channel which is cross team, this will basically do the same, and this is actively being worked on.

Would be great for many of our Care Services customers. Imagine a scenario where at one location there are 10 teams of care providers which each take care of 10 groups of elderly people. Most of the dialog will be within a team, but often there are messages that concern other teams as well. A question, a note, an event. In these cases you would want to be able to mention another team from your own Channel.
If Team A mentions Team B, that note should pop up in the General Channel of Team B. Expectation is that this works in a Public Team scenario but that you cannot @Mention Private Teams (they must have been made private for a reason)

Incredibly important when your company grows. You need to mention small team within public channel.
Scenario: Company team, Support channel - you want to mention whole support team (f.e. 6 people) to focus on some problem and allow other people to read and contribute.
Possible workarounds:
- Write them to separate team (but then other people do not know)
- mention one person of support team in channel (but in case he is busy/out of office, then it does not work)
- mention whole team / channel - notifies whole company (not good)Please provide this possiblity

Another use case: Team 1 needs to update both team 1 and 2 at the same time. Would be helpful to also specify team 2 channel.

This would help us so much.
Our scenario:
We have 8 Dev Teams, each with their own private team space.
Then we have single public team Development, with channels where all the developers discuss their stuff.
Now let's say I notice someting wrong in the product and I want to notify Dev Team 3, who is in charge of that part of the product.
Currently, I have to know the particular members of Dev Team 3 to send them notification.
It would be so much easier, if I could just mention @devTeam3 in the message.
