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?

@LuiIacobellis doesn't seem to work in the mobile app for iPhone?

@LuiIacobellis This is great, but I think it would also be nice to have a "Send when user is available" option!

Would this feature work in Channels as well? Or is it only for chats and discussions?

@LuiIacobellis When is this planned for release on mobile?

How can you delete a message scheduled on Teams Mobile that has not been sent yet? I see this functionality from my desktop but not mobile. @LuiIacobellis

@LuiIacobellis great feature, but annoying that it defaults to tomorrow rather than today - gets me every time. Would be good if they can configure it to start at the next 30minute slot on the same day, rather than 8am next day.

@ArrowBradthat would be annoying and violate the user's privacy.

@TylerH1 How about "Send when not Out of Office, In Meeting, or Presenting"? I don't think privacy would be violated, a user can see another user's availability whenever they want already.
