Passing messages between Microsoft Teams chats will soon be much 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 when trying to convey important notes or alerts.
The change should also make it easier to add additional information when forwarding a message between Microsoft Teams chats, which hopefully means no vital context is lost or misplaced.
Microsoft Teams forwarding messages
In its entry in the official Microsoft 365 roadmap, the new feature is described as allowing users to “quickly forward messages from one chat to another using the context menu,” suggesting that users will simply have to click right in the message. They want to copy so they can do it.
Users will be able to forward messages to 1:1 Microsoft Teams chats or group conversations and, as mentioned, will be able to add additional content, “to provide context and clarity to the recipient.”
The feature is rolling out now and is generally available to Microsoft Teams users on desktop versions of the Windows software.
The news is the latest in a series of updates and improvements as Microsoft Teams seeks to continue delivering the most intuitive and intelligent experience for users around the world.
Recently, the platform announced an update that will allow users to manage calendar notifications directly within their Microsoft Teams activity feed, meaning there should no longer be a bit of confusion between apps and services to silence an annoying pop-up. or alert.
Microsoft Teams also recently introduced a feature that will allow users to send in-meeting notifications to a specific person during a call, allowing them to react or respond privately. The new “targeted in-meeting notification” tool will use a bot to ensure your message remains (relatively) secret and is only delivered to the intended recipient.
