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

Trying to scroll back 18 months to find a message for the auditors. Been going for 20 minutes. This is mind boggling that this has never been addressed.

Chats are effectively read-once because of this. Once it has gone off screen it is not worth trying to find it again.

If I look in a file included in the chat and exit back to the chat, it takes me to today, not where I was in the chat. Another disastrous waste of time as it takes me ages to scroll back. For goodness sakes, fix these crazy, linked problems.

This is a disastrous waste of users' time.
Please add a proper scrolling feature.

This is my #1 suggestion for making Teams better. So painful to scroll back through the Windows app.

Still a problem; needs to be addressed by Microsoft.

There should be a button that takes you to your first message in a chat.

Please improve speed of scrolling up, going at the top of the chat and search in chat. It only shows just a message when I search instead of related conversation. It's a terrible

Difficult to read the conversation from the beginning while keeping an eye on the rest of the workload in Teams. Lots of time lost to scroll up during a few minutes.

Slack and Discord both don't have this issue, but scrolling history is dreadfully slow in Teams to the point of if I need to go back and check something someone said at a previous time, I put off doing it cause I know I'll need several minutes just to wait for page loads. Likewise, after finding what you were looking for a few weeks back in your conversation with someone, scrolling back to the present time seems to take just as long.

I have created an "Auto Scroll to Top" feature for MacOS Teams. You will need an Apple Magic Mouse and a small heavy notebook (e.g., Moleskine). Instructions are as follows: 1) move the scroll bar to the top in the Teams App, 2) depress your mouse, 3) place notebook on corner of the mouse to keep it depressed, 3) wait for 1-3 minutes for Teams to scroll to the start of the chat history. I would also recommend that you Pop Out the Chat so you can keep the history loaded. Once you have reached the very top, you will be able to use the scroll bar to move up and down the history more quickly. See attached screenshot and picture

When moving to chat for fast information exchange instead of "legacy email" one would expect at the very least the same responsiveness and search options. However this is not the case.
Cannot scroll back in a fast manner, and search is also slow. (I know there is a Ctrl-f function coming soon to search in current chat, but cannot judge how slow or fast that is yet).
So responsive scrolling and efficient search would be great!
