What’s New in Microsoft Teams | January 2020

As usual, a quick update on some of the most-requested items on UserVoice shows continuing lack of progress on basic, essential features. - Multiple accounts at the same time: not delivered. Faster switching between accounts has been rolled out, but this was explicitly not what was requested. - Include Office calendar in Teams: not delivered. "Working on it" for 18 months. Last update 6 months ago. - Multi-window: coming "soon". But no screenshots shared or other requests for feedback. - Move project/chat/message from one place to another: No updates for over 6 months. - Compact mode: "Working on it" for 3 years. No updates for over 6 months. Despite claiming in April 2017 (yes, 2017) that "We now have a design and are conducting 1:1 research testing with users", zero progress. - Ability to archive channels: "Working on it" started April 2017 (yes, 2017), now demoted to backlog. - Allow different notification options on different teams/channels: "Working on it" for nearly 2 years. Last content-free update over 12 months ago. - Any other UI customization by the user: No progress anywhere with the exception of being able to pin channels to the left hand navigation bar. - Text search for Wiki: Unbelievably, not implemented. Working on it since May 2017 (yes, 2017), over 12 months since last update. Many of these are things which were identified very early after product release, and are basic functionality that everyone expects to be present. Complaining and voting on UserVoice is effectively useless, hence raising these issues again here.
