Hi Mouang Lee

Do you get the issue in the web client (https://teams.microsoft.com)?

If you don't and this is restricted to the desktop client, get the user to log out completely, clear the cache (https://commsverse.blog/2018/09/28/clear-the-microsoft-teams-client-cache/) and then log in again - see if that fixes it

I have also seen reports that attachments may cause this

Hope that answers your question!

Best, Chris

In my case, I was not able to edit a message until I removed attachments. Once I removed the attachments I was able to edit the message and re-attach the files.

Both the web and native client gave the red "Edit failed" response.

I am a team owner and all permissions related to editing and deleting messages were enabled. Toggling the permissions off/on did not have any effect.
