Move a project (channel) from one team to another

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

    Yes please! Would love for this to be an option. The ability to move a channel to a different team or make a channel become its own team! Please start working on this.

    Yes! Please add this! Changing a channel from one team to another is very laborious. If you can let us know when this will be available that would be wonderful.

    I can't say what Microsoft is making more important, but this feature would allow fledgling deployment efforts by smaller staffs to be corrected / modified easily after the fact. Something like Private Channels being unable to be converted to Public andf vice versa can be covered with minimal training and best practices but when you are part of a company that proivdes a variety of client services, it's not so easy to imagine all of the ways that one might use a Team versus a private channel.

    Please take this functionality out of backlog and move it to the top. Lots of people are remote workers these days and use MS Teams to communicate with their team members. This is an important feature that would help the remote workforce

    I can't believe this is still in your backlog especially in the current COVID-19 landscape. This is very disappointing.

    You say that you have prioritised other work items, however this has been deemed to be one of the Top 3 priorities by your users since 2016 and you have chosen to ignore your customers and reject being a customer-centric organisation which is very very disappointing considering your reach and customer base.

    This oversight and lack of ownership flies in the face of your company values of being a customer-centric organisation in having a corporate social responsibility, innovation being a force for good, and listening to diversity and inclusion.

    This should not be a difficult nor time consuming feature to fix for an organisation of your size and it shows your inability to listen to your customers and a technical incompetence.

    We need this. When the company just started with teams, everyone was used to slack and just made tons of different teams and channels. Now that I have an idea of how it works, I want to consolidate them down, but I can't move them. I'd rather move so no data/chat/info is lost.

    We are really struggling to try and figure out how to move channels between teams. When we get a new lead that we convert we would like to move a channel from "lead" team to "customer" team. Please make this a priority feature.

    Hi Alex, could we get an update on this? Please prioritize this. As of COVID we're consolidating a lot of teams now, and this would be an amazing feature to have available.

    Very much needed feature -- please bump up priority and make this available soon!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Dear Microsoft, it is hard to believe that a UserVoice topic in the TOP 3 most voted topics remains on backlog since November 2016! Prioritization in this case has nothing to do with listening to your customers it feels more like fully ignoring your customers which is a shame. Moving Channels between Teams must be a basic functionality and fairly simple to implement for a company like yours. Please implement ASAP.

    Sometimes a channel in a Team might have to be moved to another Team because of internal changes.
    Besides that, it would also be good that a channel could be available in more than 1 team and automatically synched, rather than having to create yet another team to get all the people together.

  • Julie commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    That feature is needed urgently and would save us a lot of time! I hope it will be available very soon. Thanks in advance.
