Microsoft Teams Discussion Forum

Add structured, searchable discussions to Microsoft Teams.
Social Squared brings a true discussion-forum experience into Microsoft Teams. Organise conversations by forum and topic, keep replies threaded, moderate contributions and preserve useful answers beyond the life of a busy channel.
STRUCTURE TEAM DISCUSSIONS

Move Beyond the Fast-Moving Posts Feed

Teams channels are excellent for immediate collaboration, but important questions can quickly move out of sight. Social Squared adds a structured Microsoft Teams discussion forum where conversations are grouped by purpose and topic.

Users can browse categories, open a focused thread and follow the complete discussion without unrelated chat breaking the flow.

  • Create forum groups for departments, projects or interests
  • Organise every discussion as a searchable topic
  • Keep nested and quoted replies in context
  • Use a familiar experience inside Microsoft Teams
  • Reduce repeated questions across channels
  • Give long-running conversations a permanent home
SUPPORT HEALTHY COMMUNITIES

Moderation and Engagement Built In

Community managers need more than a stream of posts. Social Squared supports moderation, subscriptions, helpful voting, topic ratings and marked answers so members know where to focus and which contributions they can trust.

Reusable templates make it easier to launch new forums with a consistent structure and purpose.

  • Assign moderators and manage inappropriate content
  • Let members subscribe to forums and topics
  • Highlight accepted and helpful answers
  • Rate topics and recognise useful participation
  • Launch consistent communities using templates
  • Apply Microsoft 365 access controls
PRESERVE KNOWLEDGE

Turn Teams Conversations into Findable Knowledge

A structured forum helps useful expertise remain discoverable after the immediate conversation ends. Employees can search previous topics, revisit decisions and learn from answers shared across the organisation.

Reporting and analytics show participation, popular topics and unanswered questions, helping owners improve the community over time.

  • Search historic discussions from within Microsoft 365
  • Retain context when projects or team membership changes
  • Download valuable topics as PDF
  • Track participation and community activity
  • Identify questions that still need expert attention
  • Use Copilot-assisted summaries for long topics

Create a Microsoft Teams Forum with Lasting Value

Combine the convenience of Teams with the structure, moderation and discoverability of a purpose-built discussion forum.
