M365 Changelog: (Updated) Suggested Files in 1:1 Chats

MC513664 – Updated November 27, 2023: Microsoft has updated this message to reflect this feature will only be available in the new Teams experience.

As an extension of Suggested Replies in 1:1 chats, you can now easily save time when you need to send a file in a chat by tapping on a “Share file” suggestion.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 95065

When this will happen:

Standard Release: Microsoft will begin rolling this out late November 2023 (previously early July) and expect to complete by mid-December 2023.

Government Clouds: Microsoft will not be rolling this feature out at this time. We will communicate via Message center when we are ready to proceed.

How this will affect your organization:

Once available, users will be able to tap on a “Share file” action in chat whenever intent is detected to send a file.

What you need to do to prepare:

This feature ships default on; review Manage messaging policies in Teams.

If you wish to disable this feature in your tenant, please disable the Suggested Replies setting that is found in Messaging Policies.

Users also have a setting within the app so they can disable the feature.
