Teams will soon add this basic messaging feature — finally matching Slack

Microsoft Teams will soon support another feature that the app probably should have launched with. In the near future, Microsoft Teams will allow you to control how the Enter key works when composing messages.

After the feature rolls out, you’ll be able to choose whether pressing Enter starts a new line or sends a message. At the moment, pressing Enter sends a message, which can result in accidental sends.

The upcoming feature, which was spotted by XDA, appears on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap. It is expected to roll out in February 2026, though that is not a firm release date.

“Microsoft Teams now gives you control over how the Enter key works when composing messages,” reads the roadmap entry. “You can choose whether pressing Enter sends your message or starts a new line—making it easier to write longer messages without accidental sends.”
