Quote chat message in reply on desktop
A colleague showed me how to do this.
Steps:
Put your cursor in the Team's Chat box.
Copy and paste what you want to reply to.
Press Enter, the cursor advances to the next line.
Press Enter again, your cursor advances out of the reply box.
Type your reply.

As of today 2021-Sep, this feature with ">" works only in the main Teams window, but doesn't in the individual chat windows. At least with the Teams version that my company uses right now. So I would say this workaround has a small impact.Now the reply quote msg function have in under business tenant MS Teams
no need copy paste and manual reply quote now 🙂
- Thank you very much, it is the best solution of all those described so far, to see when Microsoft incorporates it in the same way as in the mobile
Hi josepfeb SLiddicoat kfraysur mrs99mrs99 and all:
Use the shortcuts keys work to do this: How to quote a message in Microsoft Teams - HANDS ON Teams (handsontek.net)
- And a reminder to keep pushing it up https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/39353152-reply-to-specific-message-in-chat-on-desktop-app
It's pretty poor you can't do this - Is this not basic functionality? Look at all the integrations and giphy inclusion—yet a core requirement of a group chat is to be able to reply. Not efficient. And the work around above it so time consuming it's crazy.
