TL;DR:
When composing a 1 to 1 message in Microsoft Teams chat after-hours, users with a Viva Insights subscription will see schedule send suggestions that enable postponing message delivery until the start of the chat recipient’s working hours. Due late February to late March April 2023.
Details:
Schedule send suggestions help align message delivery with the start of the working hours of the recipients in their respective time zones. They will be automatically displayed when composing messages out of hours to users who are assigned a license with a Microsoft Viva Insights service plan.
Schedule send suggestions will be on by default but can be disabled by admin or users as follows:
- A Global admin, an Exchange Online admin or a user admin role can assign and remove Viva Insights subscription license in the Microsoft 365 admin centre. For information on how to assign a license, see Assign licenses to users in Microsoft 365 for business.
- Individuals can also turn schedule send suggestions on or off through their own Teams Settings by selecting or deselecting Schedule message send
