How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Allow "bumping" or "nudging" of messages in chat

Would love to be able to "bump" or "nudge" a previously sent message that may have not been responded after a while when chatting directly with an individual or group Ideally, the person who the "bump" was sent to would get an additional alert or notification to remind them they need to respond.

    Absolutely agree, definitely, as a teacher this would be so useful for when sending messages to my students. We started using MS Teams at my College last March when the UK first when into lockdown. I have since come across many repeated posts about various features that MS Teams lacks or could improve on. I wonder if anyone actually pays attention to them, because surely Microsoft would then be doing something about it.

    I absolutely agree. Sometimes the screen his hidden under everything else and it would be nice to nudge so that they notice the teams messaging window.

    Yes. I'm finding the students respond if you put @studentname but they don't respond to another line that doesn't have their name. I suspect the notification pings then they go back to whatever it is they are doing at home in Lockdown... So a nudge would be useful.... I've tried doing th e@teamname but th eother tutors say it pings them as well.

    Really need the old screen "wobble" nudge back. With so many working from home at the moment and not keeping an eye on Teams, being able to nudge in this way will remind them something is there for them.

    The "Nudge" from MSN needs to come back! If it's one feature I miss from all these modern comm apps is that one.

    Agreed, Microsoft needs to work on this function! Many times messages have been sent and people don't realise, some users don't have audio and a shake of the sort would resolve this!
