Message ID: MC956699
We are introducing the ability to forward app cards. With the addition of app card forwarding, users now have a new way to share app cards across chats. To forward a message containing an app card, simply navigate to the More Actions menu of any message containing an app card and select forward. From here, the forward message dialog will populate, which provides users with a preview of the message being forwarded, including the app card.
Please note: Forwarding of bot cards is excluded from this release.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 469506.
[When this will happen:]
Public Preview: We will begin rolling out early January 2025 and expect to complete by mid-January 2025.
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out late January 2025 and expect to complete by early February 2025.
[How this will affect your organization:]
Users will now have less restrictions when forwarding content. Previously, users were unable to forward messages that contained app cards. With this improvement, this restriction does not exist.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
Users must have the latest Microsoft Teams build to receive these updates. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.

The recent update to Microsoft Teams introducing the ability to forward app cards is set to be a game-changer for both admins and users alike. This enhancement allows users to share app cards seamlessly across chats, which not only streamlines communication but also boosts collaboration. Imagine being able to share useful information or resources with just a few clicks—no more lengthy explanations or searching for links!
For users, this means more flexibility and less hassle when it comes to sharing content. The new forwarding feature simplifies the process and encourages a more dynamic exchange of ideas. It’s like being handed a magic wand—poof! Your important app card is now in the hands of your colleague, ready to spark a conversation or drive a project forward.
Admins, on the other hand, will appreciate the reduction in restrictions on content sharing. This update can lead to increased productivity within teams, as users can now easily disseminate valuable information. However, it’s also important for admins to prepare their teams for this change. Ensuring that everyone is on the latest version of Microsoft Teams and updating internal documentation will be key to a smooth transition.
As for the impact of these changes, it’s hard to underestimate their potential. By facilitating easier communication and collaboration, we may very well see a boost in team efficiency and creativity. After all, who wouldn’t want to share ideas more freely?
