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.

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.
