Reply on Desktop App?
Hello, may I know why it's 2020 and replying to a comment is still NOT A FEATURE on desktop app? Why things like video background made the cut but not Replying To A Comment on Desktop? This is 2020...
- I don't work for Microsoft, but if you'd like to try out the "quoted reply" it's now available in Public Preview.

Hello depwnz Teams now has the ability to reply to an individual chat message. If you click on the three dots in the comment you want to reply to, you should see "reply" as an option. It copies the original message and then posts the reply under it. Happens in meeting chats too.
What OS are you using? Since the "reply to message" feature started rolling out to tenants a few weeks ago, and you don't have it in the desktop app, then are you using the Mac version? This feature is available in mobile today and it is in progress for the desktop apps.
I'm using Win 10 and updated Teams. Looks like the feature has not been rolled out to my laptop (or all of my colleagues') yet.
Besides, clicking on the dot --> select reply is too time-wasting. Can they just add a simply reply button to a text? There are just so many ways to implement this single most used and most important communication feature. I mean, everything we do on a chat app is replying to someone, isn't it.
