User reporting settings for Teams messages

User reporting of messages in Teams is made of two separate settings:

• In the Teams admin center: On by default and controls whether users are able to report messages from Teams. When this setting is turned off, users can't report messages within Teams, so the corresponding setting in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal is irrelevant.

• In the Microsoft 365 Defender portal: On by default. If user reporting of messages is turned on in the Teams admin center, it also needs to be turned on the Defender portal for user reported messages to show up correctly.

From Teams Admin Center  - Messaging Policy - Make sure this below option is turned ON

 In the Microsoft 365 Defender portal (Security.Microsoft.com)
