Microsoft Teams - How to pin messages

Things to know about pinned chat messages:

Sometimes you might want to pin a particular chat message for reference in a one-to-one or a group chat. A pinned message appears at the top of the chat and remains there until removed or replaced.

  • When someone pins a message in a chat, everyone in that chat can see it.
  • Only one message can be pinned at a time.
  • A pinned message doesn’t affect an ongoing chat.
  • Anyone in a chat, except guests, can unpin any pinned message or replace it with a different message.
  • If someone selects a pinned message, they'll go to the original message in the chat.

 

Pin a chat message

  1. In a chat conversation, hover over the specific message that you want to pin.
