Messaging
Make the Most of Your Message Area—Windows and Mac
In group spaces (especially larger ones), when lots of people leave or are added around the same time, your message area can get clogged up with notifications that (maybe) aren't all that important to you. Sometimes, this can cause you to lose context of messages sent before or after these in-space notifications. From April, you'll see these notifications grouped and collapsed, with the option to expand if you want to see more detail. This allows users to focus on more important messages.
Webex Teams Supports XMPP Messaging—Windows and Mac
Are your colleagues using Jabber, Pidgin or another XMPP app? Now that Webex Teams supports XMPP, in Webex Teams you can send a plain text message to someone using an XMPP app. Your administrator can enable the XMPP communication and they can also ensure that you can only communicate with people on XMPP apps from specific domains or organizations. See Webex Teams | Send a Message to Someone on Another Instant Messaging App
Share Files from Box—Windows and Mac
If your administrator enables access and you have the relevant Box apps and permissions, you can share, preview, view and edit your Box files directly within the Webex Teams app. You can upload local files directly into Box from the Webex Teams app and then preview and share them. See Webex Teams | Integrate Your Box Account
Actions on Any Message—Windows, Mac, iPhone, and iPad
Now you can start a thread, quote, or flag a message on a calendar invite in a space. For Webex Teams on desktop you can also forward the calendar invite information to a different space. See Webex Teams | Follow Conversations More Easily with Threads, Webex Teams | Quote Someone's Message, Webex Teams | Flag Important Messages.
Edit Your Message—iPhone and iPad
We released support for editing messages on desktop a couple of months ago, and now we're adding this functionality to Webex Teams on mobile. Whether you sent the message before formatting or you misspelled a word, you can now go back to edit your message. After you update it, a note next to the message indicates that it’s been edited. See Webex Teams | Edit Messages.

You can add a pause to an entered phone number, which you might need if you're joining a conference call and need to enter numbers in response to the automated system. You can add a comma (,) to the number, which gives a 1-second delay in the dialing. You can add several commas in a row to extend the delay. You could enter something like: 95556543123,,,,56789.
