Bulk messaging to 1:1 chats
marbulk I would suggest not thinking about these as 1:1 scenarios, because they clearly aren't. Use Teams!
In your examples
1. there is a summer trip and a message about a sensitive personal topic has to go through a private message to the people that have signed in for the trip.
Create a Team for people going on the trip, HR then post a message an @mention the Team so everyone gets notified. They can add a Microsoft Form to their message to securely get specific answers back which are automatically compiled into a table in excel.
2: a system administrator collects information how employees manage company's private data locally.
Use a Company Wide Team (if less than 10K users) and a similar approach to the above.
When posting a new conversation, the author can press the little format button, then on the expanded compose choose if they don't want others to reply on the thread, as it wouldn't be appropriate. Collecting data via Microsoft Forms is a far better experience for people submitting data, and enormously more convenient for the person collecting it.
Hi marbulk Uservoice is where we'd like bug reports and feature requests to be submitted. That way, other users can "upvote" them and you'll receive alerts when progress has been made on the fix. It is monitored and managed by Teams engineering staff.
This discussion forum is just that: a place for users to discuss issues, tips, tricks, observations, etc with each other. It is not monitored by Microsoft staff on a regular basis.
- Isn't Uservoice going away soon?

But it has been extended for Teams for several more months and the replacement will likely draw the data from the existing site (at least that's what's being discussed), so we're still promoting its use. Thanks for keeping on top of these types of announcements.
