Left Align Chat messaging
For individual/group chats (not the Teams chat), can you PLEASE left align the chat, it's too reminiscent of AOL. There is no need for the back and forth, left to right between two people.

This is easily the simplest configuration option that could be implemented. It drives me absolutely insane, and more and more people are starting to use this platform at my company.

It's another year. Anybody at Microsoft Teams listening? Left justify, please. At least an answer to your customers would be appropriate.

Make this a configurable option so that those that want can keep it as is but give the rest of us the option to have it work like we want it to. I personally agree with the comment and would love to see this as a feature.

I agree with everyone else , this looks bad on my screen. please allow us to select how it aligns . This looks like a dumb phone app.

My neck feels like a typewriter jerking back and forth when I'm trying to refresh my memory on a chat from the day before. When the app is open wide on a screen it is even worse. Having chat messages alternate directions is incredibly inefficient and just a silly design. This is not a text messaging app on a mobile phone and even if it was, keeping messages in a single left aligned thread is a better design pattern anyway. Please change this overall or at least allow the option to change in settings.

In slack it is left aligned and it is just so much better if you send code and other long snippets.

I agree with others, please provide the option to adjust the conversations with individuals/groups to be either left justified or the current layout. Options are better for everyone and let people tailor the look to their preference. This is a major issue with many executive level folks that I show Teams to.

Please design and allow user to select either conversation should display left aligned or existing pattern. The existing look is very annoying to move eyes left and right. It should ideally show both Me/others conversations at left side only. Own conversation should be of course displayed in different color with slight one/two tab space right side.Please design and allow user to select either conversation should display left aligned or existing pattern.

If you are going to ripoff slack, then ripoff slack please; don't try to be smarter.
Slack felt like it was designed by engineers; Teams feels like it was designed by marketing.

Pls let user select if we want to be left/right align or opposite.
I use Teams on big screen and it's really tired to see the chat bubble in the different side.
Pls add this feature!!!! -

Yes please I agree with all. Please make chat messages more aligned. Not too far right aligned, just enough to differentiate between responses by different people. Right now it's too far apart.

If you feel it's obviously better the other way, perhaps add a checkbox to fix this for us neanderthals.

Please add left justify - bubbles are fine for mobile but on desktop left-justified is a no brainer.
