improve speed of scrolling up in chats
a ton of time is wasted waiting for chat text to appear then to find that its not what you were looking for
please preload more data or reduce the delay on loading the content like google hang outs does, its much smoother scrolling thru history
its difficult to navigate thru recent history when its all blocks

Gah! OSX is reporting an increase in memory usage of roughly 5mb per page of messages loaded.

The further you scroll back, the longer it takes for messages to load. It's ridiculous. I know I have to scroll back to the 7th May 2019, because I've searched for the message and I can see *one* message. Now to see the context around that single message, I have to manually scroll back 3 months. If you're not going to fix the scroll lag, then at least show +/- 3 or 4 messages around the search results...

They will not fix it.. their fix will be to wait until regular skype is completely gone, and then between then and when the folks who have business skype hosted internally can no longer use that.. Then they will get around to fixing it.. We just went back to slack and its amazing.. Remember Microsoft... if your answer is "there is no fix" OUR answer is to use tools that don't have that problem. But who knows.. maybe they want to get out of the chat business and let it die on the vine..
I simply don't understand why you cannot make local cache file have a size limit before splitting.. or have a new local cache file every day and be able to modify the settings to suite your needs..

when you scroll back to historical messages and you see greyed out blocks - click with mouse on them several times and then messages load much quicker. So basically you scroll-click-click and force Teams to load messages. Helped me go back in 2 months history much quicker. Strange behavior though.

This is a minor issue but it makes the application far harder to use than Slack. If I had the choice, I'd choose Slack over Teams primarily for this reason.

The 'choppy' scrolling in teams is both distracting and annoying - please consider fixing it.

Any news in the case?

Scrolling back down faces the same issue.
Unacceptable for a 'productivity' tool. -

One of the reasons of choosing Teams is because of the history feature but it doesn't works. It takes a lot of time to display and it's buggy. When you are scrolling back, suddenly the screen returns to current date page, you lose a lot time going back to previous dates but suddenly current date chat is displayed and you have to start again from current date.

It would be great to be able to scroll to a specific date (see screen shot from Google Photos). This allows someone who knows a conversation took place on a specific date to scroll to that point in history without scrolling through EVERYTHING that happened in-between.

Please local cache the loaded message. The lazy loading for chat history is killing me.

The load times for older messages is actually much faster on the MS Teams website versus the desktop application. Can we please improve this in the desktop application
Thanks.

This wouldn't be difficult to fix. Somewhere in the code or config you'd be choosing how many lines, messages or bytes of text is being cached locally, and it's probably hard coded to about 1KB, for fear perhaps that the user's computer will run our of memory (thanks) but meanwhile I look in the task manager and Teams is gobbling up 308MB.
Or perhaps not. Perhaps the tech behind teams isn't able to scale up to a few thousand lines of text so the Microsoft engineers have had to cap history at about 50 lines at a time. Sad.

Sorry for the second post, but I need scroll up now for 2018 June 18 and I very, very regret the time spent.

I'll explain this. Generally I based on two versions of Skype (before and after). I have few big chats for few years of history. Windows OS time for time is reinstalling and local files are lost. The previous version of Skype gets sync data very quickly. Also, search in tons of images and texts in big chat worked quickly. Now, search doesn't work in a not synced area. I need spent hours to scroll up chat and after this only search will work. Last time I used version "before", but it now updates automatically and I cannot keep this on my computer. It's not good. Sync and search in not synced data need to fix.

I don't understand why this is not fixed yet, this issue has been present since the software has been available. It makes the software very tedious to use when you look for something in particular in an old conversation (it's even worse if this conversation is a group with multiple messages in it.)

I don't understand the decisions behind, but the messages should be cached locally, why is it always loaded all over, I scroll up, takes 20 seconds to load the messages, I scroll back down it is loading the last messages! But, profile images are cached so much, that you have to relogin...to see any change, not even restart of an app refreshes the avatars. Please Microsoft fix it, in the current app layout, where you see 6 messages on 4k screen, the slow scrolling is a killer!

If you go far enough back in history, it basically hangs the app and it's quicker to just force kill it then try and scroll back to the present.

The history function is basically useless. When I search, it finds it quickly. When I select something in history, it is not only slow to show the history item, it basically crashes teams since now the conversation is at that point in the history and even just navigating the user interface is slow. I had to terminate the process and restart it to make it responsive again.
