    We should have the option to block a member of the same organization. I am being harassed by a team member and this option could help keep this person away from me.

    There should really be an option to block someone. I clicked the link to upvote the feature, but there's an error.

    You can't block someone in same organization as replied by Jennifer on top, however my suggestion is to use the option "hide" and "mute".

    On the particular chat with the person shown on the left, click on the three dots and you can choose mute and hide.

    With "hide" the chat will disappear from your view until new message sent but it will not bother you so much because with "mute" you will not get notifications, . You can refer: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/hide-unhide-mute-or-pin-a-chat-in-teams-9aee02ef-713d-495b-8a73-9762d8e4b066#:~:text=Swipe%20left%20on%20Chat%20and,it%20again%20to%20undo%20it.

    Hope it helps albeit short term, for long term maybe need to discuss offline :)

    Hello,

    I'm Jane, happy to help you today. I'm very sorry about your problems.
    Messages cannot presently be blocked. The only option is to adopt an address book policy in Teams that will only conceal your support email address.
    However, if you are concerned about blocking contact in Teams, it is recommended that you please vote the feature at https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555... and leave your good ideas there.

    Please let me know if you need help with anything else.

    Sincerely,
    Jane.
