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. 

To report a message: 

  1. Go to the message and select More options  Microsoft Teams more options icon > Report this message.

  2. Depending on your organization, you may be able to choose your reason for reporting the message. Review your selection, then select Report. ​​​​​​​

  3. You'll receive a message confirming your report was sent.

Note: If you don’t see the option to report a message, or can't select a reason for your report, check with your admin. Currently, if you're using Copilot in Teams, you can't report a message in the Copilot app.
