@mention someone in Chats in order to add one to the conversation

Question

Hi,We've noticed that while we have an UI way of adding someone to the conversation, we can't do so by&nbsp;@mentioning.Why is that?

The inconsistency of not being able to \@mention someone in a chat is frustrating.&nbsp; It kinda looks like it's working, because it highlights and emboldens the following word, but it really isn't doing anything.&nbsp; Am I mentioning the guy or not?&nbsp; I have no **bleep** idea?&nbsp; The UI needs work.&nbsp; MS should make it more clear how mentioning is done.

I guess because mentioning is just not adding some one to the conversation...is just, as you have said, "mentioning" this guy

Got it. Thanks&nbsp;jcgonzalezmartin!Is there any non-UI way of adding someonce to conversation (e.g. /add SOMEONE in Skype)

Hi Boris are you talking in a chat or in a team and is it a member of the team? I use @mention all the time in our teams

I don't see a way to "mention" people within a MS Teams chat. If I type "@" I don't see list of names. I'd like to be able to mention people that are already added to the chat. Is that possible?

Thanks,
