Microsoft Launches Threaded Conversations Feature in Teams - Jordan News
Microsoft Launches Threaded Conversations Feature in Teams Microsoft has officially added threaded conversations to its Teams communication platform this week, following through on a long-promised and highly requested feature, originally scheduled for mid-2025. The company has now released a public preview of threaded conversations, allowing Teams users to enable the feature. اضافة اعلان Threaded messaging in Microsoft Teams is being rolled out initially within Channels, and it works a bit differently compared to how Slack handles threads. Noga Ronen, Principal Product Marketing Manager for Microsoft Teams, explains: 'You can follow the most important threads, and when a key update or decision is made, you can bring it back to the main conversation, keeping everyone informed without needing to review every single reply.' Users will now be able to create either posts or conversation threads within a channel, but unlike Slack's simplified threading system, Teams requires channel owners to choose between posts or threads, depending on how the channel is structured. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a 'Followed Conversations' view in Teams. This lets users easily track conversations they care about—and just as easily unfollow noisy threads. Ronen adds: 'By default, you'll follow only the conversations you've started, replied to, been mentioned in, or explicitly chosen to follow.' Alongside the threaded conversation preview, Microsoft Teams now supports multiple emoji reactions per message. Ronen also notes that users can now more easily search for GIFs using the /gif command, enhancing the fun and interactivity within chats. Youm7

Microsoft Teams Rolls Out Threaded Conversations and Multi-Emoji Reactions in Public Preview
Microsoft Teams is stepping up its game with the rollout of threaded conversations, now available in public preview. After promising the feature earlier this year, Microsoft is delivering one of its most-requested updates to improve how users communicate in channels. The new threaded conversations feature is designed to bring clarity to long discussions, allowing users to focus on relevant threads and easily follow decisions. 'You can follow the threads that matter most to you, and when an important update or decision is made, you can send it back to the main conversation, so everyone stays aligned without requiring them to sift through every reply,' said Noga Ronen, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Microsoft Teams. Unlike Slack's more flexible threading, Teams will require channel owners to choose between a 'posts' or 'threads' layout for each channel. This means the threading experience may be more structured, depending on how a team uses its channels. Teams also introduces a followed threads view, where users can keep track of conversations they've engaged with. 'By default, you'll only follow threads you've started, replied to, been mentioned in, or explicitly chosen to follow,' Ronen added. Noisy threads can be easily unfollowed from this view. In addition to threading, Microsoft is enhancing reactions with multiple emoji support per message, now live in public preview. This allows for richer expression in chat, expanding beyond the traditional single-reaction limit. The update also brings improvements to slash commands, including the ability to search for GIFs using the /gif command, making Teams a more dynamic and engaging collaboration platform. These new features signal Microsoft's continued efforts to refine Teams as a competitive and user-friendly workspace solution.

Microsoft Teams now has threaded conversations
Microsoft has added threaded conversations to its Teams communications app this week. After promising to launch the highly-requested feature in mid-2025, Microsoft is now releasing a public preview of threaded conversations for Teams users to enable. The Microsoft Teams threads integration debuts in the channels section of the app, where it works a little differently to how Slack handles threaded conversations. 'You can follow the threads that matter most to you, and when an important update or decision is made, you can send it back to the main conversation, so everyone stays aligned without requiring them to sift through every reply,' explains Noga Ronen, senior product marketing manager for Microsoft Teams. Microsoft will allow Teams users to either create posts or threads in a single channel, so it doesn't seem like threads will be as easy to create as Slack allows. Teams channel owners will have to select a layout of either posts or threads, depending on how a channel is used. Microsoft has also created a followed threads view for Teams where all the threaded conversations you care about can be found. It's easy to unfollow noisy threads from here, too. 'By default, you'll only follow threads you've started, replied to, been mentioned in, or explicitly chosen to follow,' says Ronen. Alongside the public preview of threaded conversations, Microsoft Teams is also finally getting the ability to react to messages with multiple emoji reactions. 'Multiple emojis per message is now in public preview,' says Ronen. Slash commands in Teams are also getting some improvements, with the ability to search for GIFs with the /gif command.
