Supposedly unread messages when thread is open
When you are viewing a message thread (i.e. it is open in front of you, even you typing a message to it) new messages coming to it will only be marked as read if you open the channel again. In detail:
1) Have a message thread open in the app. You can also be typing a new message to it.
2) Somebody else posts a message to the thread.
3) The channel is now marked as having unread messages (its name being in bold). This is despite you reading the message (it appeared just where you're typing).

Add Categories for Threads Within Teams
We use the conversations feature within a channel to create threads for iterative projects. In order to keep from multiplying too many channels, it would be nice to be able to sub categorize groups of threads within a channel.
This seems like a pretty basic feature that other project management platforms we've used have built in.

Send a thread contents to user who not in team
In case we want to share the contents in a thread (not all contents in the team) to user who not in the team, we should copy all message in thread.
Thats not smart way to share the information.
Could you make thread share function by mail, private message or other way.

Cross Channel Posts: Replies Appear in All Threads
The new cross-channel posts are great! However, it would be even better if replies in one thread copied over to the thread in the other channel(s). This way, the conversation remains fluid and everyone always has the same information.

Reply a thread in a channel with email (forward email to a thread)
It would be amazing to be able to reply to a thread in a channel via email, something like forwarding an email to a channel, but to answer a specific post, without creating a new thread.
This feature could be implemented clicking in the ellipsis on the right side of a post, and add into the contextual menu the "Get email address" option.Check the attached picture to clarify what I'm saying.

Ability to Favourite/Pin a conversation thread
Channels have multiple active conversations but most people are interested/participate in only few of those. When you switch back from a different channel/chat, its difficult to locate the right conversation thread. If we can favourite/pin threads, it would be of immense help in locating it.

Enable / Disable Threads
We are currently using HipChat for fast paced communication 100+ posts per minute in some channels. we would like the ability to disable comment threading on a per channel basis to allow Teams to be legible at this volume.

Threaded conversations
Teams is ok for quick information exhange but it tends to break down into confusing mess when there are more than 10 messages per channel. So the solution would be to have really threaded conversations. This is something that we already had back in 1990's in the newsgroups. So you can clearly see who is answering to what topic and each conversation can have multiple clear branches. Each conversation also would have a subject so that you can easily spot the topic you want to check. Obviously by default the threads would be minimized and you could open…

Ability to reply to a specific message in a chat thread
I would like the ability to reply to a specific comment within a thread. Especially now with Guest access and Team sizes sure to grow and expand.
I was in a "Conversation" with several people the other day and the problem was that people kept starting new threads rather than replying to the thread. This was because the threads themselves were quite long, and the only reply button was way, way down, past dozens of other comments by several people.
Sometimes you just want to reply to one specific message/comment in a thread rather than at…

Spinning new conversations off of existing threads
Support spinning off conversation into new (but related & tracked) conversations. Use case: A technical discussion leads to 2 (or more) sub-discussions on specific topics. These could be broken out into new related/tracked conversations without polluting the original thread (or spinning into dis-jointed threads where resolutions are lost).

Clear and AUTOMATIC subject lines for conversation threads
Clear and AUTOMATIC subject lines for conversation threads--too many people I know don't do this--please make it mandatory when starting a new thread and make sure it fits easily to the point of being legible in the left-hand message rail. Thanks!

E-mail or Chat response to thread to specific user
Sometimes it is appropriate to respond to a thread directly. Other times, you may want to respond to a user with an e-mail or chat message instead of responding to the thread.

Improve reply to channel and reply to thread usability
People accidentally reply to channel when they should be replying to a thread. This makes the channel a mess. Improve the usability aspect of this making it more intuitive to reply to the thread one is reading right now!

I want a sidepane that shows the entire thread expanded when I click on Team chat that has a thread, just like Slack does
I love threads in Teams, but the way they are collapsed and sometimes take multiple expansions and sometimes that collapses other parts (if a really long thread) is really hard to work with. I'd like to be able to just click on the parent message and have the entire thread shown expanded already in a side pane, just like slack does.

Show when an user is writing on a channel/thread
Show when an user is typing on a thread or channel.
For example, when you will reply on a thread, appear something like: "bla bla bla is writing". Like we have on private chats.

Expand only new comments in a thread
We often have threads that get fairly long, 40+ replies. When this happens, it would be nice to be able to only expand the comments section to show the new comments.
So say you have 56 replies to a thread, and while you are working on something else 7 new replies get added. If when you return to the thread it is collapsed to only show the most recent comment, you only have the option to expand to show all replies. This means that you have to scroll through the 56 old replies that you have already read…
