Upcoming Planner release @chat feature
in the upcoming release of Planner features, it mentions that the comments will be replaced with a chat. Do I assume that the chat and @mentions are tied to who is assigned to the Task? ie. if the Task is assigned to Mary, will I be able to type Mary but I won't be able to type John (as John is not assigned the task)?
- Tasks chats in basic plans will allow team members to collaborate directly on tasks using rich text formatting and @mentions, making it easier to discuss work and notify teammates about what needs attention.

Hi Elizabeth!
This feature has already been enabled. It is called "Task Conversation". The button appears at the bottom of the details for a task. In my experience, people must be manually added to the chat. You can tag all the members of the channel or add specific people. They don't need to be assigned the task.
Thanks Tim. I have seen the feature you're referring to. I'm referring to a different feature that has been announced as part of Microsoft Major release
What I meant to mention in my question above is... can you @mention someone who is assigned as a member of the Microsoft 365 Group attached to the Planner board? i.e. can you @mention someone who has access to the Planner board ? or only the person assigned to the Task?
