(Updated) Microsoft Teams: Forward messages with app cards

Microsoft Teams will introduce the ability to forward app cards in messages starting mid-February 2025, with general availability by late June 2025. Bot cards are excluded from this feature. Users need the latest Teams build, and organizations should notify users and update documentation accordingly.

Updated June 13, 2025: We have updated the timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

We are introducing the ability to forward app cards. With the addition of app card forwarding, users now have a new way to share app cards across chats. To forward a message containing an app card, simply navigate to the More Actions menu of any message containing an app card and select forward. From here, the forward message dialog will populate, which provides users with a preview of the message being forwarded, including the app card. 

Please note: Forwarding of bot cards is excluded from this release. 

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 469506.

[When this will happen:]

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out mid-February 2025 (previously early February) and expect to complete by late February 2025 (previously mid-February).

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out late February 2025 (previously late January) and expect to complete by late June 2025 (previously late May).

[How this will affect your organization:]

Users will now have less restrictions when forwarding content. Previously, users were unable to forward messages that contained app cards. With this improvement, this restriction does not exist. 

[What you need to do to prepare:]

Users must have the latest Microsoft Teams build to receive these updates. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
