The Verge reports that the Microsoft Teams internal application is currently integrating the Teams menu and Chat feature. The distinction between Teams and Chat can be confusing for Microsoft Teams users. Many organizations tend to favor using Chat exclusively, neglecting the Teams side due to its perceived complexity, despite Teams offering key features such as webhook support.
Popular chat applications like Slack seamlessly combine chat into one screen, dividing it into just Channels and Direct Messages without the need for redundant sub-rooms like Teams. This version remains internal to Microsoft and it is unclear when it will be released to the general public.
TLDR: Microsoft Teams is merging the Teams menu and Chat feature, creating potential confusion among users who may favor Chat over Teams due to its perceived complexity, despite Teams offering key features such as webhook support.
