I recently wrote about Delayed Send in Outlook. Check out this feature for Delayed Send in Microsoft Teams. If you are trying to avoid causing unnecessary concern, friction, or stress after hours, but find yourself more productive during that time, use the delayed send feature to align to your recipient’s work hours.

How to Use It

• Write your message
• Right click the Send Arrow
• Select your delivery time
• Click “send at scheduled time”

Here is what it looks like:

Here it is after it was sent:

While I love it, there are a few things I wish it did:

• It should automatically select the working hours of the recipient, similar to how the Outlook feature works
• It should actually suggest that chats be sent during working hours (like through Viva)
• Not sure if it randomizes the send time, or sends exactly at 8:00 AM above
