Microsoft Teams will finally add "New conversation" button into Channels experience

Microsoft recently announced the rollout of a small change in Microsoft Teams Channels experience. Even though it is a small change, it will have a big impact among users. Microsoft Teams will add “New conversation” button into Channels experience.

Previously, there was a text box in the place of “New Conversation” button. Instead of continuing a conversation via “Reply”, many users simply added text in the text box and inadvertently starting a new conversation. Microsoft Teams users were excited to hear this new change. Check out some of the reactions on Twitter below.

OMG… YES!!!! Thank you #MIcrosoftTeams for making it clear when you are REPLYing to a conversation and when you’re starting a NEW one! This is going to save lives! #MIEExpert pic.twitter.com/eSZPHXoaPx
