Updated June 23, 2025: We have updated the timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Coming soon to Microsoft Teams channels: A new threaded layout similar to group chats. Before this rollout, channels have a Post reply layout option only.

After this rollout, the threaded layout will encourage immediate back-and-forth communication in channels. In threaded layout channels, users can reply to specific messages and start a thread in the side pane. Threads allow users to have side conversations while keeping the main conversation without cluttering the main conversation.

This message applies to Teams for Windows desktop, Teams for Mac desktop, Teams for the web, and Teams for iOS/Android.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 488300.
