About this tag
The inline search tag covers Microsoft Teams’ planned feature for finding and inserting files, chats, channels, or meetings directly from the compose box with an @mention. Current coverage focuses on the expected September 2026 general availability rollout for Teams desktop, Mac, and web, while mobile is not listed.
