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.

Texas artist brings art to life in Nicholasville's murals
NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. (FOX 56) — If you wonder if Nicholasville is a welcoming place, the writing is on the wall. A huge mural, which doubles as a welcome sign, can be seen as soon as you get about four blocks from the courthouse as you're driving south on Main Street. It's the work of a Texas woman who came to paint the town. 'It's big. I love working big,' said muralist Anat Ronen. Hazel Green, Kentucky gets a makeover as a 'Celtic Village' Ronen has painted murals in cities all around the country, as well as in Israel, China, and Germany. Among her many clients are Disney, Delta Air Lines, and Google. But she finds her work in Nicholasville to be as rewarding as anything she's done. 'It's absolutely a great experience to paint for smaller places, just because you can see the change right away,' she said. In the fall of 2023, sponsors and grants paid for Ronen to paint three murals on the sides of downtown buildings—things that represent the area, such as horses, butterflies, and a bass like the ones that live in the Kentucky River. People loved the colorful additions so much, they recently asked her to do three more. Now this native of Israel, who now lives in Houston, feels as if she's been adopted by Kentuckians. 'I love, love this area,' she said, noting she had never been to Kentucky before she was hired to do the murals in Nicholasville. Starting early: 11-year-old Lexington boy says he's running for Congress She found herself being complimented by passersby each day she was working in Jessamine County, getting to know scores of people on a first-name basis. 'We just couldn't be more blessed to have her here and have her back,' said Charla Reed, executive director of the county tourism commission. 'We're trying to get her to move here, actually.' On her second visit, Ronen brought help. Sylvia Blanco, another Houston-based artist who works in public spaces, added her touch to a mural on the side of the county's tourism office. That one highlights High Bridge and the local wine industry. Nearby Wilmore got a brush-up, too, with its own 'Welcome' sign on a building that sits across from Asbury University. Large cardinals make that one stand out. But local folks seem most enamored with the 'Welcome' sign in Nicholasville that is surrounded by giant pink and purple petunias, inspired by the hanging baskets you see along Main Street. One day, a bee was buzzing around as Ronen painted, so she added one to the mural. Then, a couple of days later, she added a ladybug. The designs often change as she goes along. The folks at C. M. Space and Associates Insurance Agency had a front-row seat to the daily progress on the floral mural. Their parking lot and office sit right below it. Texas artist brings art to life in Nicholasville's murals Kentucky's historical markers ignite curiosity, community FOX 56's Marvin Bartlett captures the essence of bluegrass spirit in new book 'It's really nice to be part of the process,' said agent Joey Space. 'When you sit here, you get to see start to finish, and it's a nice feeling.' In the 18 months between her visits, Ronen noticed some empty buildings had acquired tenants. She hopes her work had something to do with that. 'You don't know if that are is a part of the progress, but you want to think so.' Many people in Jessamine County are already wondering when they can bring Ronen back, and that's OK with her. Every empty wall is a blank canvas in her eyes. She's also on the lookout for a good place to paint. 'I drive, and I'm like, 'Oh, that's a good wall. Yummy!' Hope runs high on Kentucky farms during foaling season Reed said the county plans to develop an art trail, and, of course, the murals would be a big part of the list of things highlighted for visitors to see. Nicholasville is becoming one big drive-through art gallery. Leaders say things are looking up… and you should be, too. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
