Microsoft Teams is rolling out an incredibly useful messaging tweak we can’t belive wasn’t already a thing
Passing messages between Microsoft Teams chats should soon be a lot easier thanks to a new update.
The video conferencing platform has announced that it is rolling out the ability to forward messages between Microsoft Teams chat with just one click, saving users time in communicating important notes or alerts.
The change should also make it easier to add extra information when forwarding a message between Microsoft Teams chats, hopefully meaning no vital context is lost or misplaced.
Forward Microsoft Teams messages
In his entry The official Microsoft 365 roadmap describes the new feature as allowing users to “quickly forward messages from one chat to another using the right-click menu” – suggesting users simply right-click on the message that they want to copy to do this.
Users can forward messages to 1:1 Microsoft Teams chats or to group conversations, and as mentioned, they can add additional content, “to provide context and clarity for the recipient.”
The feature is now rolling out and generally available to Microsoft Teams users on Windows desktop versions of the software.
The news is the latest in a series of updates and upgrades as Microsoft Teams continues to provide the most intuitive and intelligent experience for users everywhere.
Recently, the platform announced an update that will allow users to manage calendar notifications directly in their Microsoft Teams Activity Feed, meaning there will no longer be a bit of scrambling between apps and services to quell an annoying pop-up or alert.
Microsoft Teams also recently unveiled a feature that allows users to send meeting notifications to a specific person during a call, allowing you to respond or respond in a private manner. The new tool for targeted notifications during meetings uses a bot to ensure that your message remains (relatively) secret and only delivered to the expected recipient.
