Summary:
Microsoft Teams town hall chat messages will increase from 200 to 500 characters starting early June 2026. This applies to all attendees with chat enabled, is on by default, and requires specific licenses based on event size. No action is required, and existing policies remain unchanged.
Details:
[Introduction]
We are increasing the maximum message length in town hall chat to improve participant engagement and communication clarity. With this change, attendees can contribute more meaningful messages without needing to split them across multiple posts.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin in early June 2026 and is expected to complete by mid-June 2026.
