How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Allow self @Tag

Allow the use of the @Tag feature to tag yourself to better visualize that you are claiming responsibility for something. Currently @MyName does not bring up an option to select myself, only my teammates.

    Definitely required - I have just created a list of actions in a channel and can tag everyone except for myself

    Waiting two years for this feature. Is this being ignored? These are your users requests.

    especially needed if you expect users to utilize Flows within teams. How would one test flows without being able to trigger on themselves?!?

    This is a feature miss. Especially since I'm not sure you can email notes to yourself or flag it for your to do list...

    Definitely want this feature! It's surprising this is not possible. Was this intentionally programmed in as a restriction? Why? Why not just let it work the way it does for tagging anyone else?

    In addition to the reasons already listed, this would also enable other users to hover over the self-tag and get my contact information or send me a message. Super useful for "Meeting Notes" and whatnot.

    Ways it would be good to be able to tag self:
    - @<username>
    - @<my name>
    - @me
    - @self

    ...but certainly at least @<username> and @<my name> to match functionality of tagging others.

    Same need here! I agree and need most of use cases:
    - putting myself as the person of contact for certain topics without having to type it all out when other can be tagged and auto-complete
    - tag myself in meeting minutes such as responsible for follow up items
    (use cases are endless)

    Another request for this, it helps while sending out notifications to different channels about specific users including myself

    Hello, another vote for this feature, please! We make notes in meeting chat and it's nice to tag people but the person writing the note can't tag themself.

  • Be. commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Same here, some use cases:
    - using conversations as meeting minutes and tagging people raising discussion points or appointed to follow-up actions including myself
    - putting myself as the person of contact for certain topics without having to type it all out when other can be tagged and auto-complete
