Enable general view of the organization
It would be amazing if we can see the Org Chart (Organization tab) for the whole company and not have it limited per team or manager.

Just hover over a person’s avator and click the org chart icon in the screen that appears. Or you can click the “Organization” tab in your 1:1 chat with them. If you want to move around your company’s org chart, just click the different people who appear in the chart.

Need to have entire company chart. Having to click on individual managers is time consuming.

this org design needs to be changed. it needs to have its own tab on the side. I want to see everyone in a heiarchy design, top to bottom with out have to switch to different departments. this would also solve another problem we have in our agency where we want to use Teams as a status board indicator. as of right now, there is no way to have every member of the agency in one place for quick status checks, messaging, etc. Please update the org chart view to reflect these requests

You can see more than three layers - if you choose the lowest layer on a team. However, if someone has multiple teams reporting to them, well, no. Then all you see is one layer down - their direct reports.
Vote up for "See entire structure from every level if we want to" functionality

It's sad that this is label as "we have it" because it's not really available. It was requested to me to be able to see more than 3 level at a time. Even if the view was similar to what it looks like in Delve, like a file structure.

Is this section being looked at? as it's been incorrectly labelled as "we have this", when clearly, you do not.

Needed, the functionality is limited in its current form

What you currently have is limited and not ideal. I want to seen a side tab option to view the entire organization's chart. not just limited to a specific team. this will help will assist HR departs that have to constantly update these charts manually every couple of months. it also give a broad view of who is available. Please add this Company wide chart

The current implementation of this is limited - as the OP states - a General View - showing the entire organisation - would be great.
In an ideal world, being able to export this to something like Visio would be fantastic

Hi Admin, yes we have this, but it is quite limited to see only direct reports unless you click the user you would like to be expanded. Is there a way to see the whole company org at a glance or maybe add some filters for departments?

+1 for being able to see the whole company instead of just that person's intimidate team, and possibly the ability to export all of that data for a good "top down" view of the company.

Additionally, it would be great if you could easily expand the entire org chart and see the whole company at a glance.

I found the answer to my own question below "what is the organization tab basing it's knowledge off of?": In order to have the Org Chart populated, the "Manager" and "Direct Reports" fields must be added to each user (by an IT Admin) in the Office 365 Exchange Admin Center.
However, my second request would be to allow users to fill in the Org Chart in Teams directly and just have it request approval by an IT admin. That would save an Admin a lot of time to get this setup if it isn't already.

To add to what Yoav mentioned before, this would be great! It's actually useful to have the org chart support for AD info in there. For a SMB like use, we always wanted a mobile app that would allow the users to 1 = have a company directory/address book on the go, 2 = know who's who also on the go, as we grow fast and 3 = starting to rely more on more on the online presence aspect of things INSIDE Teams so employees can properly report availability, on the go and in one central location.
I suspect the push for Teams for "everything" will help. We are personally excited about this. I'm envisioning the Out of the office Assistant in Outlook also updating Teams in that aspect. One more thing: being able to display more than one phone number under each profile in Teams (under org chart). At the end of the day, Teams will not only be used to collaborate but also as a fancy, useful and practical company address book.
Make it happen because for the money, this would be awesome when you are an E3 customer!

Organization view is partial. Nor all levels are available at the same time neither paralel branches are visible as well.

Since this is flagged as "We have this" does that mean no one from Microsoft will look at this and it's considered closed? I am just starting to look at the org chart stuff now and agree that it'd be better to have more levels and more detail shown at once. Could make it configurable so huge organizations can limit the number of levels or how much detail.

+1 for a full "top down" org chart view.

The placement for the Org Chart is a bit odd to me. Seems like it should be in a more central location, not buried deep in your chats. I also don't understand what it is basing it's knowledge off of. Currently, all my chats say 'Organization view does not exist for this user.'
Is there a way to create an org chart for my company? -

Given Teams has implemented the basic org chart functionality (which is great!) it seems like a full "top down" org chart should be not only simple to provide but also a no-brainer feature.
This NEEDS to be provided!
