Outlook "Share to Teams"?
Are many of you seeing this button in Outlook? Did you have to do anything to enable it?
I see SHARE TO OUTLOOK from within Teams, but not the new functionality to share an email chain TO Teams...much more useful in our environment.
We tend to get features rolled out to us fairly quickly, so I wanted to make sure that there was nothing we needed to do as an admin to turn the feature on?
Thanks!
Todd

I have this Share to Teams functionality now, both online and in the desktop client. In Outlook online the search for people, teams and channels works great but in the desktop client it's far from perfect. Searching using a team name returns no channel results at all while the online version does. The desktop client only returns people and chats, not channels. Are anyone else experiencing the same or is it only me?
- alanswoCopper Contributorhave exactly the same problem in the outlook client. the search is very hit and miss; more miss than hit 😞 TBH.

- MTSBobSteel ContributorShowed up for us over the weekend, but doesn't work at all for me or others I've tried it with. In Outlook, I have several accounts with mailboxes, and in Teams I am both a native member and guest in several orgs, but no matter which mail account I choose to attempt a "Share to Teams" from, it tells me to switch to a different account (which I am already logged into).
- Jonathan BlackwellCopper ContributorSame thing happens for me. I'm guest on 4 other accounts plus personal teams and says I need to switch org even though I'm in the correct specified as the default and current in teams.
- ChristianBergstromSilver ContributorYou should open up a support ticket with Microsoft. If you’re not an admin ask that person for assistance.
- Boyd-_-cdmig001Copper ContributorSemi-Annual Enterprise Channel 2008 (Build 13127.21348) now has it. Confirmed working.
Was not expecting it to work in Semi-Annual. Awesome! - ic-jw-mspCopper Contributor
toddpurifoy Still nothing for us, Outlook updated over the weekend to 16.0.13901.20276. Running on current channel.
- dpsugasaCopper Contributorso we received the button over the weekend in outlook and it is no longer greyed out in the outlook dropdown. But when you click on it....wait for it....it does nothing...

toddpurifoy I don't see it either. I have Subscription Product M365 Apps for enterprise Outlook version 2103 (Build 13901.20312 Click-to-run), Current Channel (Preview)
- Jeroen StruikCopper ContributorJust showed up for me this morning. Outlook version 16.0.13801.20240
- Jonathan BlackwellCopper ContributorI'm on 16.0.13926.20000 64bit and do not have it.

Waiting for this function too. Looks like it will roll out in March 2021. An alternative is to send the email to the TEAM.
- Boyd-_-cdmig001Copper Contributor
PJ Galvin Yea I'm looking forward to it as well! We are semi-annual channel though so we are still going to be waiting for a while I'd guess. This March rollout is for Monthly channel only.
- ic-jw-mspCopper Contributor
Still not seeing anything on web, mobile, PC or Mac for Teams. Running the most current build as well.
This is literally the only thing holding my 'team' back from moving to Teams. We use the equivalent Slack add-in heavily.
- Jeroen StruikCopper Contributor
Same here, also still don't see it in client nor web version. ChrisWebbTech do you know more about expected release time?
- Boyd-_-cdmig001Copper Contributor
Jeroen Struik I'm putting in a support case to see if there is an issue with it in our tenant, or if the actual status is still "Rolling Out".
I'll follow up with result.

- mattias-skogIron ContributorAny news on this yet? When will it be released? Still can't see the option to "Share to Teams" in Outlook...
The documentation for this feature is found on https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/share-an-email-to-teams-from-outlook-20ccf1da-2817-4e0b-a42d-017ec4cd229b.- ChristianBergstromSilver Contributor
mattias-skog Waiting for it as well. I totally get that some features are delayed sometimes, but this one must be the "winner".
Perhaps ThereseSolimeno could reach out to the feature team for an update at least?
