Schedule message to send at a later time
Often some member of our team finds themselves with a good idea or an interesting article that they want to post on MS Teams while it is fresh in their mind... at 6:00AM on a Saturday. This tends to wake people up if they keep Teams on their phone and don't have it on silent. It would be very nice to have the option to be considerate to those still in slumber and schedule a Teams message to go out at a later time. Many SMS messaging apps have this feature these days.

I need this ability too!
I run the Tech Support channel on our Team. I finish and post many great how-to resources at the end of the day and half the people ignore them. If I scheduled those posts to go live at 6am, more people will see them and NOT call me with questions on the very things I JUST posted lol. Please Please Please;

I want to be able to schedule when posts go live for students.
It takes a bit of planning to make sure directions are clear, and files are uploaded, videos are linked... etc. This feature would take take the pressure off, and make materials available when I want them to be. -

Would love this feature as I would like to share information with my team and not worry about disturbing them at late hours

This is critical, if for no other reason, because Slack does this

This is essential! As MS Teams replaces emails between team members, the ability to program the messages on Chats and Posts is crucial for the full experience of all the benefits of using MS Teams for communication purposes over email.

The ability to do this would greatly reduce stress for most judges who are currently looking to adopt Microsoft Teams for institutional use in the Philippine Judiciary.

It would be great for when I'm working late and send messages to the team. Even though I tell them not to reply out of office, some people feel compelled- I don't want my working habits to impact them

Would indeed be very useful. I would also like the option to link this feature to the "Notify when available" function in Chats (I want the message to go out when the person is available again).

Absolutely! If I could schedule my posts for when my class would be on, it'd be super useful. Also to be able to save my post as a draft and be able to come back in and edit it further before posting would be super beneficial. Google Classroom has both of these features, whereas Microsoft Teams is lacking in this area. Come on Microsoft, help us teachers out!

Yes!
Even a bot that could do this for you would be dreamy! -

Found this thread while looking for a way to schedule a team message - since I am working late in the evening (to work up hours lost during daytime related to covid and childcare) and don´t want to disturb my coworkers with "unimportant" messages that still need to be seen

As a teacher, I would love to be able to schedule a post to my class so that I can do my planning when it suits me, and schedule the post when they are meant to be accessing the work

Teacher here doing remote learning and the ability to schedule a post to my student teams would definitely make a lot of sense.
