    Would LOVE to have this. Super annoying to try to reply to a single comment in the noise of the rest of the channel. I literally just use my phone when I need to do this to re-focus a conversation thread on one comment

    Let’s sign a petition and send to Mr Nadella, and hopefully that will get attention. What say?

    For ****'s sake... Is this THAT hard to develop and deploy?

    Microslow.

    This isn't a big complex feature to implement. Wondering why Microsoft is delaying this much basic feature!?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    When can we get in the Desktop version of Teams? Any delay is not acceptable as we're doing lots of communication especially during the COVID-19 Pandemic. MS needs to act fast.

    Thanks.

    This feature should also be available in Desktop mode. It helps you to have a fluent communication.

  • Bianca Hernandez commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, this!! Please!! This would be incredible to have this like Slack does. It helps to avoid confusion and improve efficiencies. Thanks!

    Covid means the team is now working remotely. We use several chat streams and channels to communicate daily, all day long. This feature would be SO useful to avoid confusion and prevent sub conversations (one on one chats) having to take place. Please expedite!

    Why release a half-hearted package, this will just damage reputation.

    Most businesses are moving onto teams, but how can we communicate efficiently within a "team" on a group chat without this feature?

    Absolute joke. Sort it out!

    It is unacceptable that this takes soooooooo long. We want a proper reply option. This is just a core-function which you should NOT put in 'backlog' !!

    Put everything aside and start 'working on it' (please!) 💪

    Maybe / take a look at www.outlook.com. This way of quote / reply on a certan tekst area is awesome 👌. Just select the tekst you like to reply, wait 1 second until the quote-popup shows and TA-DA 👌👌

    Waiting for a long time, I don't believe that is very hard feature. As long as this function can use in the mobile app.
