Delay Send Feature on Teams Posts
Would anyone in this forum find it useful to be able to type a message in Teams (either 1:1 chat or a team thread), hit enter, and have that message not sent until the recipient's status is available...

Microsofttomus I think this is a great need. Since the sender doesn't definitely know when the recipient(s) will be available, and this could be useful in groups too, I think of it as :
- the sender sends a "low priority, read when you can" message
- recipient receives it, but without if they're not active - without an instant notification (no sound, no alert)
- when recipient becomes active, they get one notification saying there are messages waiting for them, and they can see them in Teams conversations.
- According to the Message Center, this feature is literally days away.
MC427758 - Schedule Send for Teams Chat
"As remote teams become more common and spread across multiple time zones, Teams is introducing the schedule send feature that allows users to schedule chat messages to be delivered in the future. With this feature, we can help build better work-life balance and support flexible schedules by scheduling chat messages so that they only deliver during our peer’s work hours. Users can schedule messages to be delivered both on desktop and mobile. Additionally, all scheduled messages can be edit and delete before they are delivered. "
