[REQUEST]

Is there any foreseen capabilities in Team's channel which could act as a forum ?

So, create a Forum channel type would be perfect, and here is why:

1. Within Teams, it is commonly to find use-cases where a community drops some issues, questions and so on, and being able to :

 - pin discussions/communications

 - set tags and filter them

 - Mark as solved (which may help others, and save ans best answer)

  • sort based on people following

 

would be a perfect integrations.

looking forward to see the answers.

    Been clamoring for this for a long time. Actual, fully-threaded replies, with topic headers, just like a forum. It seems so completely obvious to me that not having this is what keeps many people from adopting Teams and keeps them dependent on using email for internal communications. My users' feedback is always centered around, "the information in channels is not organized or browsable in an easy way". A forum architecture would address that (and quite a few other sticking points users seem to have). I have yet to hear a good counterargument why it wouldn't be useful, and especially like your idea of it being a new channel type, rather than the way all channels work.

      I know about Viva Engage, but for the purpose does not fit.
      I do not want to embed this on Team's Channel Chat
