Hello,

I am interested to learn more about any efforts to include pronouns in Microsoft profiles including Microsoft Teams.

Best,

    Yes! Most platforms allow the user to either change their display name or set their pronouns to display with their name. This information could be added to the card that pops up when you hover over or click on their photo. There are already fields that allow other information, such as their title and/or department and contact information. Seems like a simple add that would go a long way to ensure accurate and respectful communication.

    This is frankly embarrassing that Microsoft doesn't currently support or plan to support pronouns on Microsoft Teams. Zoom just added pronouns as a built-in feature on their platform in June 2021, while despite this being "Under Review" since Nov 2020, there is currently NO pronoun feature included in the Microsoft Teams roadmap for future updates. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Microsoft%20Teams

    Microsoft, get your act together. This is a very important feature for many users, and the fact that you're ignoring this request and do not have the feature under development is incredibly upsetting.

    Any ETA on this functionality?? I assume it has not been addressed yet?

    Until this becomes native behavior, you could add a custom property...
