Being able to pin messages inMicrosoftTeams should be possible very soon, the company has confirmed.
In the official entry on theMicrosoft 365 roadmap, the software giant confirmed that the ability to pin chat messages to the top of the Teams communications service is planned for February 2022.
The ability to pin messages, similar to that offered by the likes of Slack and Telegram already offer, allows users to “pin” a specific message to the top of the channel, so that it’s always visible to other participants, regardless of the number of messages that came afterward.
Nothing for mobile yet
The feature is set to be released for Microsoft Teams on PC and Mac clients simultaneously, but there’s no word on mobile platforms just yet.
For mobile, Microsoft has recently confirmed that it is planning onadding predictive text to Teams, making it harder to make spelling or grammatical errors when typing on the go. This should be particularly interesting to hybrid and remote workers, who are often forced to communicate with their co-workers and clients while on a bus or a train.
