Mention everyone in a Teams Chat without having to @mention individually
rebeccaheathcote1690 - Currently the option to mention all in the list of members when you do a mention in chat is not available. Could you please help to raise it on Microsoft uservoice.
richardjfrench Thankyou for your reply. Agreed, there are definitely more possibilities in the more formal Teams Channels, to create user specific Tabs.
However the way we are using chats here are for quite fluid project related groups, and so being able to mention everyone in that chat without having to manually add them all each time would be great. Currently you can mention each individual, but a @mention all button at the bottom of the list of people in the chat would be so useful.
We often have chats of 20 or more now, and Teams is built to be able to chat with this many, so this feature would be useful.
Pending any response from MS:
- Do your users know about setting up notifications to see a red dot in the Activity feed bell icon?
- If your project groups are fluid, could you set up a Team/Channel for a project and dynamically add/remove users according to the flow of expertise into/out of the project? Aside from giving the possibility of @channel to blanket notify, this would then also allow you to leave a slightly more concrete structure of project-specific assets, while retaining the ability to support chat-based comms.
richardjfrench thankyou for your response.. I've suggested to the staff members using the chat in this way, but they don't want to set up a channel in Teams area, and they are using notifications..
I feel with all the chat functionality, the option to mention all in the list of members when you do a mention would be so desirable. There really is nothing I can find that will do this.- @meghana this is still ongoing, not resolved, I could not find where to reply to you.
