In this video, I preview a new Microsoft Teams feature that was just added into the Microsoft Teams public preview program: the ability to schedule chat messages. Note that prior to the addition of this out-of-the-box functionality, Microsoft did push out a interface to Power Automate that allowed you to schedule chat messages to be sent at a later time (this video has a call out to this tutorial if interested). It is expected that this feature will be generally available in the coming months.
To use this functionality, simply navigate to the chat you want to send a scheduled message in and right click the send button. This will bring up a menu asking you to input the date-time. Some notable limitations as the time of recording this video: 1) you can only send a scheduled message to a recipient whom you have chatted with previously and 2) you can only schedule chat messages to be sent every half hour (i.e. you cannot input a custom time).
What are your thoughts about Microsoft’s approach to scheduling chat messages?

@Cbune1977 the feature has been available for me for some time. Our tenant is not on any early release of things. I’ve had this for quite some time!!

@CANDEman, on the iPhone iOS app?
Nothing happens when I press and hold send other than accidentally sending when I release the hold.

@LuiIacobellis Hello. I am new into MS world after a long hiatus. I wanted to check if beyond scheduling "new" posts, can I schedule replies to posts for later delivery on the mobile device (iPhone specifically). In this distributed world, we are trying to be respectful to time zones.
I have attempted "long press" on replies and it doesn't seem to popup the scheduling window, & google search brought me to this thread.
A response on if/when this would be considered is appreciated.
Cheers.

@TylerH1 The new feature would essentially make it so you wouldn't have to stalk them. It's a waste of my time to monitor when a user goes off the "Presenting" or "Do Not Disturb" status.
