Microsoft Teams is changing how you reply to messages

MICROSOFT TEAMS has enjoyed immense success as an essential tool for remote working over the last year or so. With its latest update, Microsoft is making it harder to miss important messages from friends and colleagues inside the app.

Microsoft Teams is making it easier to spot an incoming message from a friend or colleague, thanks to a new chat bubble feature. This will be immediately familiar to anyone who uses messaging apps like Facebook Messenger on Android, since both of these pop-up a small preview of the text in a circle, or bubble, on-top of what you’re doing.

Microsoft Teams is a collaborative workspace within Microsoft 365/Office 365 that acts as a central hub for workplace conversations, collaborative teamwork, video chats and document sharing, all designed to aid worker productivity in a unified suite of tools.

Launched in 2017 as a rival to collaboration pioneer Slack, Microsoft saw use of Teams rocket to 75 million daily active users as the COVID-19 pandemic worsened, according to stats released by Microsoft in April. The company called Teams the fastest growing business app in its history.

Since launch — and spurred on by the push for work-from-home connectivity — Teams has moved further into the spotlight as a key part of Microsoft’s workplace productivity and collaboration strategy.
