    yes, I am tired of having to scroll through hundreds of conversations everyday to get to the current conversation. I also suggest that there should be an archive folder to save those conversations. The current day board should always be clear it is too much.

    Please add this function to MS TEAMS!!! Critically necessary. The SAME feature as in SKYPE would be highly appreciated!

    It is too much storage and possibly contravenes DP and GDPR legislation. I think we need Microsoft to give feedback on whether they will act on the feedback or not.

    PLEASE ADD. TO MUCH CLUTTER. NOT TO MENTION IF YOU ACCIDENTLY HIT A PERSON YOU DIDN'T WANT TO CHAT WITH IT'S JUST STUCK THERE. NEVER GOES AWAY

    It says so much - that Microsoft seem to be completely unable to add a 'data housekeeping; function such as this.....

    Mimic Skype's ability that once you close out it is deleted and if you opt to you can search chat history in outlook.

    Agree this would be a great feature to add. I don't like the clutter of all the chat messages.

    Chat history needs to be cleared from time to time, not user friendly this inability to clear the clutter.

    Chat history is typically included in eDiscovery and can be used in litigation cases. Companies should review their data retention policy before taking any action or allowing individual member deletion.

    The inability to delete chat history or to "clear the thread" is the only issue I have with Teams. It is one of the only reasons we have not switched from skype for individual messages. When remotely conversing with others on a regular basis, having the ability to clean up the chats is extremely important.

    Make it user friendly and customizable. I need to clear history and individual calls/chats!
    Other products do this why not TEAMS?
