Report messages in Microsoft Teams
If you see a concerning chat or channel message with internal or external users in Teams, you can report it as either a security risk or inappropriate content.
Notes:
-
Depending on your organization, you may not be able to choose your reason for reporting the message, or you may not see the option to report a message. Check with your admin to confirm whether reporting is enabled.
-
Currently, if you're using Copilot in Teams, you can't report a message in the Copilot app.
