M365 Changelog: Add people to a group chat from compose box via @ mention

MC481196 – Teams Chat is for fast-paced communication, and Microsoft wants to ensure nothing gets in the way. Pull in via @mention provides a short cut to the add-dialog saving you time from realizing the person isn’t already in the chat and navigating (2-clicks) to the add-dialog manually.  Users can now add someone to a group chat directly from the compose box via @ mention.

When this will happen:

Microsoft will begin rolling this out in early December and the rollout will complete late December 2022.

What you need to do to prepare:

Users or admins do not need to do anything to prepare.
