Hunting down a specific chat message or thread inMicrosoft Teamscould soon be a lot easier thanks to a new update coming to the platform.

Thevideo conferencingservice has revealed a fix that will let users track down full chat conversation threads after clicking on a search message results.

The update means that when users search for a chat message in Teams and click on a message result, they are taken to a view that contains the full thread that features the desired message, rather than just a single line of text as had been the case.

The update is still listed as being in development, but has a general availability date of October 2022, so users may not have too long to wait.

This includes a recent tweak that should prevent unwanted Microsoft Teams chats from external users which means that, when receiving a new one-on-one chat from an external source, Teams users will now beable to accept or block the invite. Microsoft says this change should also provide the ability to block external users at any point, which revokes access to presence and incoming messages.

The platform is also introducing so-called"intelligent translation"for Microsoft Teams Mobile users, meaning Android and iOS users will be able to quickly translate messages in a foreign language.

Microsoft Teams has also recently introduced another form of real-time translation with the recent addition giving access to a largenetwork of professional interpreterswho dial into meetings on request. Once a session has begun, Microsoft Teams users can switch between the original audio feed and the interpreter’s translation via a drop-down menu.
