@Mention a Team from Another Team
I'd like to be able to @mention a Team in a channel for another Team. For example so somebody in a Marketing channel can @mention the Tech Team to bring their attention to something. Is this possible...
Since it is clear from the responses in this thread, @mention works within a Team. I wondered why it was done like that. I did little research and reason was "Teams" are a space for private collaboration not open collaboration - weird right? Instead, Microsoft proposes "yammer" as the public or open collab space if we want to share with many "teams" instead one private "team". Basically, this enforces us to choose these tools based on the purpose/objective.
I disagree. As you can make use of org teams or larger teams containing larger set of workgroups or include other business units that work with your department often into your larger department team and utilize channel mentions from that. Now in large orgs 1k+ Org teams can’t be used but you can still incorporate larger teams for this purpose under 2.5k but if it’s larger than that yammer is the go to.
- I both agree and somewhat disagree :) Org-wide teams have its advantages and yammer it’s own! I would say if you need communication solely between different departments, yammer weights over! But then again, all organizations don’t look alike and there is always pros and cons
- Yup, no right way, got to look at both and understand how each works and the features they do and don't have, and use what makes sense for your org.
