In general, Microsoft Teams Threads copies several characteristics of Slack. Although this does not mean that they do not have any of their own seasonings, which should also be mentioned.

As you can imagine, the purpose of the flows of Microsoft commands is to maintain a greater order in the conversations that occur in the channel of your working space. Many times it happens that several team members simultaneously have different conversations in the same channel, which leads to a genuine nightmare.

Having streams, you can start a conversation in the channel, but Grouping answers In the section separately so that they do not bother others. As in the case of Slack, Microsoft Teams allows you to expand the flow answers on the new panel without leaving the general idea of ​​the channel.

This means that when creating a new channel, you must choose which of the two options is preferable.

But be careful, this does not leave the new function for existing channels. Administrators can Change the format Of these at any time to turn on the threads. This, without a doubt, is a big difference regarding Slack, where the use of flows is not limited to specific sections or users, and also does not require additional configuration.

New topics of the conversation for Microsoft team channels are already available as Public preliminary viewingThe new version of the platform also includes improvements in the use of emoticons and GIF, as well as a new option for setting up the key combinations.
