Can’t find what you need in Teams? This makeover will increase your business’s productivity

Ever feel overwhelmed by the maze of chats, channels, and notifications in Microsoft Teams? Well, here’s the good news: Microsoft’s rolling out an update to help streamline things.

The update will create a simpler workspace that’s easier to navigate – grouping everything in one location under the Chat menu. Think of it as a central hub where all your key conversations and notifications live.

The update also includes a new “@mentions” view that gathers all your direct messages and important mentions in one place. This helps you catch up on tagged messages and ensures you don’t miss important notifications.

Teams will get better filters and controls. This will let you do things like filter out less urgent notifications, as well as create custom sections to keep your chats, channels, and meetings organized by project or topic.

A new ‘favorites’ section lets you pin top chats and channels for quick access.

Also, threaded conversations are expected to arrive sometime in mid-2025. Replies will group together in the same thread, making it easier to follow discussions and keep track of messages.

All these improvements are coming to desktop, Android, and iOS – so your team will be able to stay on top of things no matter where they are.

If you’re not already using Teams to keep communication flowing in your business, now’s a great time to start. We can help with that, get in touch.
