How to update (edit) a Microsoft Teams message (thread or reply) inside a Teams channel via REST API

Answer 1

Hi @lnarayana ,

Using Graph REST APIs it is possible only to Create a new root message in a channel, Reply to an existing chat message in a channel.

You cannot edit/update a posted message in teams channel using Graph REST APIs.

Currently the policyViolation property of a chatMessage can be updated.

Note: This API has licensing and payment requirements. It supports the model=A query parameter. If no model is specified, evaluation mode will be used.

Reference: chat message methods
chatmessage-update

Hope this helps.
