Microsoft Teams: Attach recent and relevant files more quickly to chats and channel posts

Microsoft Teams is introducing Quick attach, which displays recent and contextually relevant files when attaching a file to a Teams chat or channel post. This feature will save time when attaching files. The rollout will not affect existing file attachment options and will be limited to certain file formats. No action is needed to prepare for this rollout.

When this will happen:

Targeted Release: We started rolling out mid-February 2024 and expect to complete by late March 2024.

General Availability: Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, and DoD: We will begin rolling out mid-April 2024 and expect to complete by early May 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

This rollout does not affect existing file attachment options.

This rollout does not apply to:

  • Teams Mobile
  • Private channels in Teams
  • The files displayed will be limited to the formats used more often in Teams, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, and Adobe Acrobat PDF.
