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 and literally every single communication app can do that, but not a chat app geared toward enterprises?
- I don't work for Microsoft, but if you'd like to try out the "quoted reply" it's now available in Public Preview.

- Wondering if there is any update on the reply option on the desktop app.
depwnz 2021 and still no solution...
I stumbled on a means to reply to a "chat" in Teams from my iPad - swipe right on the chat and it will copy that chat and let you reply to it. Real cool. I headed over to the desktop app and still no way to do it there. Obviously in a channel you can reply direct to a conversation to keep it all together, but so far, I only see it easily done from the Ipad/iPhone (have not tried Android - would assume it would work on any mobile device) in the chats.
The interesting thing about this is that if you are chatting in a "Team" you can reply to specific messages, just not in individual or group chats....
Exactly! MarkSlaysman I don't understand why we are able to reply when chatting in an actual team. I do know that the feature is available in the mobile app.
I agree. Recently they added to edit and delete feature.
Now Microsoft should add reply like they added the edit feature and delete feature depwnz
depwnz
I snip the message (WindowsKey+Shift+S) and paste it into the text box. Then I start typing. This is just the way I found till Microsoft releases a solution.- Microsoft is still behind some of the other Apps like Whatsapp etc. in this feature. its useless to snip and paste
depwnz I would also suggest adding status marking emoji's (ie checkmark, stop sign, etc) be added to the quick emoji fly-out menu. I use these to mark requests as being done since there is no reply feature within the desktop app.
That is on the backlog. Vote for it and comment on uservoice.
You can reply to a chat message in mobile app, but it would be great it worked in channel conversations too.
- for security reason, I only use Teams on my work laptop.
