Microsoft Teams adds social-style Storyline feed for individual updates

Microsoft has added a long-teased feature called Storyline to the main Teams app, giving employees a personal space to share work updates, ideas, and reflections that aren’t tied to any specific team or channel.

Originally tested in Viva Engage (formerly Yammer), Storyline now lives directly inside Teams, right where most users already spend their day. Think of it like an internal LinkedIn feed, but confined within your company’s digital walls.

Unlike group chats, Storyline posts are personal. You’re not pinging a whole channel—you’re sharing to a feed that’s all about you. Others can follow your updates, and you’ll see posts from coworkers and leadership you choose to follow. That means you could stumble upon cross-department lessons or get early insight into company direction from higher-ups.

There’s even a “Chat with self” tab where you can view and manage all your past posts in one place, making the experience feel more structured, almost like a micro-blogging dashboard within Teams.

Here’s the catch: your company has to enable it. The option to make a “New storyline post” will only show up in your Chat tab if your IT admin has turned it on. If you don’t see it yet, you might need to give your IT department a nudge.

Microsoft had promised Storyline would launch in early preview this year, and now it’s quietly arriving, blending social features into Teams in a way that might actually stick.
