We would like to move a project (channel) between groups to keep the information.

    This really needs to be a priority! Over 4 years since the idea was suggested! Why is this not a priority?

    This is vital for the effective management of Teams Channels. Please can we look at this as a priority.

    This will be a valuable update to provide much needed flexibility in managing content when priject or work strictures change post initial setup

    Yes please do this as soon as you are able! We use Teams at school and need to be able to move some students channels between class teams.

    for our business we have either the choice of (A) creating individual teams (and subsequently also sharepoints) for each project OR (B) we use channels (either department or product specific) which can be moved or relocated under a "root directory"as per the actual organizational structure.

    version (A) leads to hundreds of individual sharepoints over time which need to be administred separately.

    version (B) would give us the chance to define a project portfolio organized according to the actual organization structure, top level administration of users and a possibility of re-organization in case of organization changes which occur frequently over the years or re-organize e.g. according to product types or others simply by copying channels and all related data in behind (planner/tasks, sharepoint data, etc.)

    this feature is truly essential for us since we have our project data on network folders which can not effectively be accessed from home office while sharepoint data can be easily accessed from anywhere.

    Any update on this? The last update from Microsoft is almost a year ago and like many people below, this is critical for us as a business.

    This should be a priority. Like many, my organization adopted Teams as our default communication platform. We were new to Teams and designed Teams to fit our understanding of what Teams was designed for. However, after a year of use, we have a much better understanding of how we should have created Teams. Because we cannot move channels from team to team, our workflow is significantly hindered. Ease of workflow should be a priority for the Teams developers.

    Critical update to aid in Teams adoption and support. Enabling better agility like this impacts the day-to-day productivity of users and helps aid in sustained adoption! Please move up in the queue!

    Hi this feature is very important. We have multiple working groups we collaborate on and would be wonderful to move a channel from Team to another Team especially as a project moves on in the process and the participants in the project changes.
    Thanks!

    The primary complaint from users that we have with Teams is around Teams sprawl. In all business units groups are constantly reforming. When that happens they are stuck with the old Teams/Channel structure. When this happens new Teams are created and old Teams are abandoned except for occasional use because information needs to be referenced. It's not agile at all. The user controlled ability to move channels (with all of it's associated information) would go a long way in assisting with this problem.

    Can Microsoft provide an estimated timeline on this work item? MS Teams is fantastic, but this limitation is a critical one.

    we need this functionality immediately. We have multiple people crating similar named teams and we need to combine the content from the channels to a single team.
