Before you act on this: these entries are drafted with AI assistance from Microsoft's
own roadmap feed, in the interest of keeping this readable and current. AI can make mistakes — names,
dates and what a feature actually does can be summarised wrong. Treat everything below as a starting
point, not advice. Always check back to the source roadmap entry linked below, and do your own
human-in-the-loop validation before you tell anyone else what to do about it.
What it is
A setting for the quick views strip Teams added above your chat and channel list, the row that surfaces mentions and followed threads.
What it does
You get three options for when it shows: always on, always off, or only when there's something unread. You can also collapse the section entirely.
Why I should care
If you found quick views a useful shortcut, nothing changes for you. If you found it cluttered and rarely relevant, you can now turn it down or off. It's a small change, worth knowing only because Teams doesn't always make its new interface elements optional.
What action I need to take
Once it reaches your tenant, open Teams chat settings and set quick views to whatever suits you. "Only when unread" is the sensible default if you haven't got a strong preference either way.
