The next generation ofMicrosoft Teamsis set to feature several important updates and upgrades.
Thevideo conferencingservice has rapidly grown to become one ofMicrosoft’s most important software offerings over the past 18 months as workers and consumers look to stay in touch during the pandemic.
Now, the company is prepping the launch ofMicrosoft Teams 2.0, set to appear in the highly-anticipatedWindows 11release later this year, with a number of new features and updates on the way.
Microsoft Teams 2.0 messaging
Among the new upgrades to Microsoft Teams is a messaging feature that allows users to reply directly to specific messages - much likeSlackalready does.
The new “quoted replies” addition will let Teams users respond to particular messages, or quote their own message in a response. Users simply need to right-click on any message to activate the feature, which can also be opened by hovering over a message and clicking the three dot menu found at the top of a Teams chat - then clicking “Reply”.
Microsoft says the addition will make messaging on the Teams desktop app feel more interactive and intuitive, as well as making it easier to pick up on all the right messages for you.
The news comes shortly after Microsoft fixed another annoying issues with Teams concerning messaging - namely, finding specific notes or messages using the platform’s search function.
