The company recently revealed an update that will let userstrack down full chat conversation threadsafter 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.
Another recent tweak looks to prevent unwanted Microsoft Teams chats from external soruces, meaning that when receiving a new one-on-one chat from outside their business, 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.
