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.

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.

Google Classroom has the feature.
If MS Teams has such a good feature, it is brilliant. -

Yes, very useful - allow teachers to prep when they have the time and push out info when they want it to be viewed

This would be a very helpful feature - allow teachers to push out info when they want students or others to see it, and helps with prep and organization time in that a teacher can have everything ready to go when they want it.

This functionality would be really useful in the rail operations industry - for example in control room environment on the night shift the user will pre-schedule engineering hour updates to 'social hours' as not to wake our management team unnecessarily and save the handover to the early shift

With the load on teachers globally at the moment, this feature would really assist us to be able to do weekly & daily planning in advance. Thanks

YES, please, add this feature. I work with a global team so I often want to share something to them in a chat via Teams but want to wait so I don't wake them up with a false sense of urgency... and then the idea goes POOF. Please add this feature!

As teachers, in our divisionwe are now moving into teams and classroom notebook. This is a large push from our employer. Lots of teachers are coming from Edmodo where you can schedule posts. This is great if you are up late preparing a lesson, but don't really want the students to see that you were up till 3am preparing. We could put together the post and set it to post at the set start time of the class.

On Teams mobile you are able to set 'Quiet Hours' to save those 06:00 notifications from waking you up. But I do still feel that scheduled messages are much needed!
