Can you schedule a post on Teams?

I am a high school teacher and I use teams to post information and lessons. It would be so useful to have the scheduling function. I used to use Google classroom and you can schedule posts/assignments and also save multiple posts as a draft. It was very surprising to see that Teams did not have these functions.. or please let me know if there are similar functions that can help me upload lessons or posts as drafts. Please look into this as it will be useful for many users.

    Because Teams is dire, theres no way to do this or countless other things you would expect as entry level functionality. Genuinely some of the worst software and UX I have ever had to work with.

    You are talking about a teams chat. This allows a delayed send, however, in a Teams post this is not possible.

    While there is no button for doing this in a Teams channel, if you have the capability to schedule email (such as from Outlook), you can schedule a post in a Teams Channel.

    1. First go to the channel you want to post in, go to More Options, click Get email address.
    2. Copy the channel's email address to the clipboard.
    3. Go to your email program (I use Outlook in a web browser for this since scheduled emails sent from the Outlook app might require the app to be open at the time you are wanting it to send, whereas if you schedule it from Outlook on the web it will still send even if you have the browser closed and your computer is turned off at the scheduled time.)
    4. Start a new email message and paste the Teams Channel's email address into the To blank.
    5. Type your subject line and message.
    6. When you're ready, click the dropdown next to the Send button and choose Schedule send.
    7. Choose the day and time or custom time and then click Send.
    8. At the scheduled time, the post will appear in the channel's posts.

    Note: A channel post sent from email will appear a little differently in Teams and will actually say at the top that it was sent via email, and the original email will be viewable as an attachment.

    Agreed

    I really wanted to like "Teams" because my new school is fitted with a 365 and all the students have an account

    I was originally from a Google Workplace for School and we obviously had Classroom as a software which was brilliant.

    Not being able to prepare what you announce the kids in advance is terrible and is the single reason why I am going to have to give on Teams and Microsoft solutions for Education.

    I am sure there is a way to do this by including yet another app into the Teams environment. But I don't have time to train on multiple software for one use only (To Do, Planner, Teams, Sharepoint is more than enough so far).

    Just add a 'send later" button for whatever post you want to post as an admin, it's not complicated!!!!

    Seriously how much more important is a "send later" button compared to adding "stickers' or writing with a "strikethrough" font?

    Another needlessly complex yet utterly useless piece of Microsoft software
