explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft Teams had planned to enhance the way users view images in chat, allowing them to easily cycle through multiple images. Imagine flipping through a photo album where you can quickly glance at each picture without needing to go back and forth. This update was designed to streamline the experience, making it more intuitive and efficient for users who often share and review images in their conversations.
However, after further consideration, Microsoft decided not to proceed with this update at this time. It's like planning to renovate a room in your house, but after evaluating the plans, deciding to hold off on the changes for now. The intended feature would have allowed users to click on images and be taken directly to the point in the chat where the image was shared, much like how a bookmark works in a book, guiding you to the exact page you want to revisit.
For now, users will continue to use the existing method of viewing images in Teams chats. There is no need for any immediate action or updates to training materials, as the feature will not be implemented. This decision may have been made to ensure that any future updates provide the best possible experience for users.
