Short Version
You can now turn any chat or channel message in Teams into a personal reminder, with a dedicated view for upcoming, active, and completed items, so follow-ups don’t slip through the cracks. Now due from early to mid-November to December 2026.
Details
You can set a reminder directly on a chat or channel message (1), and then create, update, complete, or delete it as needed. Reminders appear in a dedicated Reminders view, organised into upcoming, active, and completed items (2), so you always know what’s still outstanding.
When a reminder is due, you’ll get a pop-up notification, along with a badge count (3) on the Teams chat icon. Each reminder is private to you and includes the original message context, so you can pick up exactly where you left off without needing to go hunting for the original conversation.
This applies to Teams desktop (Windows, Mac) and mobile (iOS, Android).
