Summary
                Microsoft Teams is introducing a refreshed 'Your teams' and 'Manage Team > Channels' page for better navigation and management of teams and channels. Rollout begins early October 2024 for Targeted Release and mid-October for General Availability, with completion expected by late October 2024. No admin action required.


More Information

Coming soon for Microsoft Teams:

  • An updated view of all teams on one Your teams page.
  • An updated Manage Team > Channels page, helping team owners and team members to filter, search and manage channels in the team from one page. Team members will be able to navigate to the list of channels from the Your teams page with a single click.

This message applies to Teams on Windows desktop, Mac desktop, and on the web.

When this will happen:

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early October 2024 and expect to complete by early October 2024.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-October 2024 and expect to complete by late October 2024.

General Availability (GCC, GCCH, DoD): We will begin rolling out early December 2024 and expect to complete by early December 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

Before this rollout, Team owners and members can hover on the team name on the left side of Teams, select the three dots, and go to Manage team to individually manage the team and its channels. Team owners and members can see all the teams they belong to from the Your teams page. Selecting a team on the Manage teams page takes Team owners and members to the team's General channel.

The Manage team page with the Channels tab open: Access this page from the three dots next to the team name in the left panel in Teams:

The Your teams page shows all teams you belong to. Access this page from the three dots in the upper right corner of the left panel in Teams:

After this rollout:

  • Team owners and members will be able to view their teams from the Your teams page, and access channels in each team. To navigate to the Your teams page, select Your teams and channels from the three dots in the top right corner of the left panel:

  • Team owners and members can select a team name to review the channels in the team and choose channels of interest to show in Teams:

  • Team owners and members can search and sort on the Your Teams page or hide all channels. When all channels of a team are hidden, the team will not show in the Teams and channels list on the left side of Teams.
  • Team owners and members can also view the channels in the team from the Manage Team > Channels page, and show channels of interest by filtering, sorting, and searching for channels in the team from one page.

These features will be on by default.

What you need to do to prepare:

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. You may want to notify your Team owners and members about this change and update any relevant documentation.
