Microsoft Outlook users will soon be able to use Teams chat via the email platform as Microsoft looks to introduce 'Teams Chat from Outlook Meetings'.
According to the Microsoft 365 roadmap webpage, the company aims to provide an "easy Teams chat experience" for Outlook users.
The post states that the chat messages will be in the "context of a meeting for participants to send a quick message or review the chat".
Reports suggest that the feature will allow users to quickly send or review messages without opening up the Microsoft Teams platform separately.
Microsoft hasn't released much detail on how the feature will work however there is speculation that it will likely be an expansion to the Teams functions currently integrated with Outlook.
The feature is currently listed as "in development", with a release date set for March 2023. According to the post, it will be available to all Microsoft Outlook users.
Microsoft has been updating its Teams platform recently as it tries to make collaboration and productivity easier in the hybrid working space.
One of the ways it aims to boost collaboration among colleagues is the introduction of the 'Games for Work' application to the platform.
