App Launch
We recently launched an all-new Jira Cloud for Microsoft Teams app, knowing that streamlining the connection between your core tools is paramount to productivity and momentum.
First, I want to thank everyone who installed the app and gave us valuable feedback.
We know some of you had issues signing in or configuring your site. This was a bug in the Microsoft Teams desktop client and the workaround is to log in via a web browser so they sync. We are working with Microsoft to solve this but if you're still running into issues after trying this, please let us know below or via the feedback bot command in the app.
Between launch and now
For full transparency, we did not match full feature parity with the legacy app and you let us know (THANK YOU). So we brought back some highly requested features and added some new ones.
- Adding a message in a chat as a comment in an existing issue
- Creating a new issue from a message within a chat
- Adding an attachment (whether it's an existing issue or creating a new one)
- Commenting on an issue
- Personal bot view so you can view your work within Teams
What's next?
- Limiting suggestion bot commands - this is a feature in Microsoft Teams where it allows all available bot commands to pop up in the message extension when typing. We are working with Microsoft to see if we can change this or get rid of the commands completely since it can be a huge distraction in your workflow. We are also bringing back some common bot commands from the legacy app.
- Channel Notifications - you can currently set these up manually in your Jira Cloud instance to get them in a Teams channel, but we want to make it easier for your team to set up and get the updates they need in real-time.
- Granularity with Personal Notifications - we heard your feedback about customizing notifications even more so you can get relevant notifications sent to you without too much noise.
- Clarity on features within scopes - you have to manually add this app to your Personal, Chat, Team, or Meeting scope and they all have different feature sets within those scopes. We are working to provide clarity on where these features live and how to install them so you can access the full set.
- Board View - this has been the highest requested feature and is a beloved cornerstone of Jira projects. This is a major project for us so I don't have an ETA for you but we are early stages of exploring the technical implications of this. We are working hard to bring this into Microsoft Teams and we know how valuable it is for you to unleash the potential of your team.
Keep it coming!
We love hearing from you! We want to hear what you love, hate, or anything in between. We read every single survey and take our customer interviews to heart. We're trying to build the best app for all our users and we need your input. We can't always promise we'll build that exact feature request based on the sheer amount of niche use cases but we will try our best. 
Drop us a line below or send us your comments via the feedback bot command in the app within Teams.
Thank you for your help and patience with us. We hope your 2022 is off to an incredible start!
Cheers,
Tygrr
