    Unofficial Microsoft Teams Library

  • This is indeed frustrating, but there might be a technical explanation behind it: AFAIK message ids on Microsoft Teams are generated by the clients, and one cannot easily jump to a message ID.

    Their Teams mobile app does something more stupid, but that kinda works: when you reply to a message, the message is copy-pasted as a quote and you are basically sending back the original message to the user.

    I really don't get why Microsoft Teams is _that_ overengineered and (IMHO) badly develooed. Their clients are super heavy on CPU and memory and I can barely use the web version.

    On a side note, I'm trying to fix part of this mess myself by writing a Microsoft Teams library (and later a / multiple clients) so that I can finally use without complaining about it: https://github.com/fossteams/teams-api
