Quote chat message in reply on desktop
There's another options for those of you that still waste your time with the click, click, click, click, click, click solutions. Which I bet are geeks like me that do not mind having a little challenge to accomplish a task, but I would never use this for personal use when my family already use platforms that works as they should and do not have in backlogs essential items that should've be there from the beginning.
If you want to read the Post/Reply link workaround is the last sentence, which is adding yet about four more steps to the already lengthy steps suggested here. But to the developers I want to say this. From developer to developer.
I heard is in the backlog, and so on, as fixing the documentation for developers has been for a long time, which is a big click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click mess to find what you are looking for. The desktop OS should be rename to Click OS, instead of Windows. Because everything in the Microsoft Office developers perspective is to open windows or forms to accomplish stuff you could do with just one click.
This is the same reason why developers do not like to develop for Microsoft. If it takes this long for their own developers to add something so critical and "a must" for a chat app. Specially when the feature is available for so long on Android and iOS. This tells us that not even MS developers care squat about Windows.
"Optics" are important, your own OS should be the prime time for your apps. Outlook is definitely better on Windows than any other Platform, but Outlook was develop when developers loved Windows. Not so anymore. So if you do not care about your platform why do we as developers should.
From my perspective, about 80% of the documentation is done using Mac OS screenshots. I haven't used Mac OS version of Teams if there's any. But again, optics. If your developers do not care about your platform why should we care about it?
This shouldn't be in the backlog in the first place, this should've be a priority.
The Linking to Post/Reply Workaround
Another solution in the meantime, probably we get the feature... Send the comment to want to reply as an Outlook Link... Copy the link when you receive it... And add the link to the quote. That at least will link the others to the comment you are referring to.
