Saving Chats and Conversations in Microsoft Teams | 5 TIPS

Saving chats and channel conversations in Microsoft Teams helps you reference old discussions, go back to questions or things you want to remember from your conversations with your colleagues. In this video, I provide 5 tips that will help you find your way around the Saved messages functionality in Teams.

We look at saving a chat message, saving a conversation from a Team channel, see where the saved chats and conversations go - it's not immediately obvious as Teams doesn't provide a visual cue when you save a chat message. We see where are all your Saved messages, all in one place.

I also go over how to unsave a chat or conversation and finally, how to reply to an old chat message, so that your colleagues know what you're talking about if you reply to an older message.
