It is to confusing and complicated, considered a hassle limiting adoption for pilots Webb- Thanks. Islands mode is not a valid option for this as users do not want to run 2 tools. Teams is a great replace for skype, but to get the business to buy in and pilot the product we need to make sure that they know that messages sent to users will be received in the correct tool. This causes confusion and has caused pilot users to no longer want to use Teams in fear that the users they are trying to IM will not receive the IM in skype properly. Teams only users need to know that message sent to users on skype will only go to users on skype and not try to have them launch Teams. Users who are Skype only and haven't launch teams need to receive messages in Skype only, not teams. This is not the functionality we want to see happen and is killing out piloting of Teams.

If we have users in Teams Only mode and they send an IM to a user who is offline in S4B, they receive an email that someone tried to message them in teams and click here to join teams. It would be great if there was a way to control users being sent an message in teams when they have not been migrated yet. The main goal here is to be less interrupted by Teams notifications and in particular by callout notifications that are distracting and can make people to lose focus.ĭoes this makes sense and is the team actively working on any of this? Channel conversations: if a channel conversion is started, there shoudn't be any callout messages unless a person is mentioned directly, only the Teams icon blinking for a few seconds and the indication of the number of unread messages One to one chat or group chat: In resume, when someone starts a new conversation, the other involved persons should receive a callout message but not for the remainder of the conversation, where only taskbar blinking and showing notification counts should be displayed This is what is the behavior in both Skype Consumer and Skype for Business and is the one that makes more sense to me A simple notification count with the number of unread messages in the Teams icon in the taskbar and the Teams icon blinking for a few seconds after the message is sent should be enough. Then, if we reply and someone in the conversion replies back, we should be able to not see a callout message for every message they send. One to one chat or group chat: When someone starts a conversation, a callout message should be displayed (to allow the person to know someone wants to chat) This is what I think should be the behavior or it should be allowed the user to configure (one to one or group chats or channel conversations).

I also share my opinion on how to enhance the notification behavior that I believe is vital in Teams. Is there any estimate on the release date of this user voice request: You can find more information about co-existence modes here

Please note that If a recipient you previously had a conversation thread with is subsequently upgraded to Teams, that thread will no longer reflect accurate presence and will no longer be routable. From Skype for Business, any other user will see presence based on the user’s activity in Skype for Business.Chats and calls from Teams users in a federated tenant to that Islands user will land in Skype for Business. From Teams, any other user in a federated tenant will see presence based on the user’s activity in Skype for Business.Chat and calls from Teams users in same tenant to that Islands user will land in Teams. From Teams, any other user within the same tenant will see presence based on that Island user’s activity in Teams.If a user is in Islands or Legacy mode, presence is independent and the values need not match. If a user is in any of these modes: SfbOnly, SfbWithTeamsCollab, SfbWithTeamsCollabAndMeetings – then any other user, whether in Teams or Skype for Business, will see presence based on the user’s activity in Skype for Business. If a user is in TeamsOnly mode, then any other user, whether in Teams or Skype for Business, will see presence based on the user’s activity in Teams. To ensure that routing follows presence, presence publishing is now based on a user’s coexistence mode With this update, routing and presence are fully aligned. Based on customer feedback, we are updating how presence works when organizations are using both Microsoft Teams and Skype for Business.
