Idea worth considering.
On the other hand, talking out the strategy may be making game more fun
Suggestion: Teams Mode UI Improvement
Sort:
What if you could see your teammate's arrows in a different color. (The ones you draw by right-clicking)

Arrows would be great, just they need to be thin, so you can see pieces under it. Not a fat arrow like now.
i really like arrows!
Okay should be working now.
oops

Sounds like a good idea to me
@battleMind24 just a clarification, are arrows visible to everyone? I notice as an observer I can see them

An arrow is a friendly suggestion, not an order from your lieutenant. If JustinD1986 hates that, it is his personal psychological issue.

@battleMind24, thank you one more time for the fast implementation of the arrow feature. And yes, the different color of teammate's arrows would be useful.

Just noticed this in the CHANGELOG:
"Arrows are also displayed to spectators."
Seriously? So, I can ask one of my friends to be my teammate and another friend to watch the game and inform us about the enemy plans (what arrows do they draw). Nice. Also I think I can log in with a different account and spy those arrows myself.
If you wish to show the arrows to the spectators then make a noticeable delay. Let's say the spectators will see the game (moves, chat messages, arrows) with a 1 minute delay.
Yes, we are aware of this, we will implement features that will prevent users from abusing this. Right now it's not a problem as most team games are not viewable yet (ratings haven't caught up). I think a delay might help prevent this.
If we can't find a way to prevent this we will remove it altogether.

Thank you!
I hope the chat (between teammates) is private now (not visible to spectators)?
@battleMind24 the arrows are really awesome thanks 
We should be able to visually suggest moves to teammates. For example: Right click a teammate piece then right click an empty square -> the squares become highlighted and/or with "marching ants".
Advantages:
1) Convenient.
2) Fast.
3) Good for those who do not speak English.
4) Good for those who do not understand the chess coordinates system.
