Threading multiple responses in chat
We are in the process of evaluating a migration over to Teams. In the desktop app I understand the difference between the Chat tab and Teams tab and I'm specifically looking at the Chat tab in this instance. I understand a new feature was released to allow replies to a chat .
That appears to be half-baked though, in that I can only reply to one message and not create a thread for a complete conversation in the Chat context.
Am I missing something or is this correct? I'd like the ability to create a "New Conversation" in a Chat but right now only see that as an option in a Channel.
Thanks
- Yes. Chat is designed like WhatsApp -a single threaded conversation. The only thing you can do is Reply to a post which will copy and paste that post in a new post to reply to. If you're coming from Slack, then this is not what you're looking for.
- there is a workaround, in "chat", switch it to "group chat", with different group name, you can have conversations as many as you want
like david and you said, it works by desgin
in team-channel, there will be "post" -- "new conversation"
in chat, there is always&only one conversation for each people you are talking wih
you have to vote in MS feedback portal, no direct "new conversation" for chat right now dhutton Please see here for Feedback request of this feature: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/328070b5-7dcd-ed11-a81b-002248519701
CommsGuys1855 the feedback link doesn't work. Fully threaded conversations would be a valuable addition to chat in Teams.
