Unread messages Tab in Teams similar to Outlook
VK018508 I, too, wish there was an easier way to visually see unread notifications.
For the Microsoft team, When there are multiple unread messages, most of them go missed since the Activity feed shows everything and there's no ability to keep the unread filter on after navigating away from the Activity panel.
I would love to see a way to keep the unread filter active OR keep the red dot on the Chat and Teams panel icons until those messages are clicked on, whether it be within the Activity panel or the native channels. Many of my coworkers do not see notifications, most specifically from the Teams section. Because of this, we do not utilize the Teams section and only really use the Chat section. Something about the UX is just not making notifications easy to find.
I agree. Since more and more companies are using teams, it would be nice if this tool were taken from a simple child's toy, get some adult developers on it, and build something for business to use to manage chats. If I have 300 chats, I need to see them in one simple order, always, or a have a way to configure the ordering. The order would be:
1. New Only
2. Nothing I've already seen
3. Only show details when I have actively selected a chat.
Please get some adults to work on this tool to make it less child-like. Adults need to organize data, thoughts, and prioritize.
