How to Enable Suggested Replies in Microsoft Teams
Suggested replies in Microsoft Teams give you fast, pre-written answers based on the chat messages you receive so you can reply in a single click. This smart feature uses artificial intelligence to look at incoming chat text and guess what you want to say next, such as “Sounds good!” or “I will check.”
You can turn this setting on or off in a few seconds directly inside the Microsoft Teams desktop app on Windows 11. Managing this feature helps you speed up busy work chats or lets you keep full control over every word you type.
Enable suggested replies in Microsoft Teams by going to Settings and more (three dots), then Settings, and checking the box for “Show suggested replies in chat” in the General tab. Uncheck the box to disable it.
