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.

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.

My neck is getting tired from looking left to right to read IMs. Please align everything to the left!

Why the **** hasn't this been added yet? This is extremely inefficient and frankly ****** me off.

Yes, we want this feature. Still is missing after 2 years of topic started.

I too have the same request. We have just migrated our chat function to Teams and the "bubbles" or left and right of screen orientation is extraordinarily inefficient. Hopefully you can make the change so that the entire chat is left justified.

Yes, please, allow for an option for it. To customize chat, left justify, set the font size, set the padding on chat bubbles. These should all already exist internally and just need an option panel to set them. Please.

Splitting texts across the screen makes chat extremely difficult to read and reduces the utility of Teams. It makes me hesitant to migrate to it.

This is closely related to the Compact mode request - main thread here: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/17408641-please-create-a-professional-compact-chat-layout

Please add this. It makes even less sense for widescreen monitors where your eyes have to go from one side of the screen to the other repeatedly.

This is really just how chat applications are set up these days, see WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, etc..

Yes! Please left align all the messages. Going back and forth is distracting and wastes time.
