Microsoft Teams is introducing the ability to forward messages with app cards, excluding bot cards. The rollout timeline has been updated, with Targeted Release in early February and General Availability in late February 2025. Users need the latest Teams build to use this feature.
Updated January 17, 2025: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
We are introducing the ability to forward app cards. With the addition of app card forwarding, users now have a new way to share app cards across chats. To forward a message containing an app card, simply navigate to the More Actions menu of any message containing an app card and select forward. From here, the forward message dialog will populate, which provides users with a preview of the message being forwarded, including the app card.
Please note: Forwarding of bot cards is excluded from this release.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 469506.
When this will happen:
Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early February 2025 (previously early January) and expect to complete by mid-February 2025 (previously mid-January).
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out late February 2025 (previously late January) and expect to complete by early March 2025 (previously early February).
How this will affect your organization:
Users will now have less restrictions when forwarding content. Previously, users were unable to forward messages that contained app cards. With this improvement, this restriction does not exist.
What you need to do to prepare:
Users must have the latest Microsoft Teams build to receive these updates. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
