Using comments in office documents in teams

[eddyyeah]

hi all, opening an Office file within Teams we all like to use the comments section and tag other collaborators in using the @ tag to notify users. however when the document is open in Teams i only have the ability to comment and not to @ someone. if i open the document within a browser or actually in the native application, Word or Excel then the @ option appears so i can tag users. make sense?

Would vote on it in order to push it up the agenda. I would like to see this too so have voted myself

Hope that answers your question!

Best, Chris

thanks @Christopher Hoard seems very hit and miss feature, some documents open in teams and the feature works well, others don't. didn't know if issue was mismatch 32bit and 64bit versions of office and teams etc tried all varieties and no luck. will def add my vote to user voice thanks again
