Move conversations to different channels
If a conversation is started in one channel but gains importance to the point where the conversation deserves its own channel. Or a conversation was started in the wrong channel and needs to be moved

Agreed, this is needed. Private channels are useful, but this makes the challenge of moving a conversation from one channel to another more complex. But with conversations drifting off topic or raised in the wrong channel to start with, it also makes it more important to be able to move them around.

Finally private channels have been introduced. But old standard channels cannot be changed. For restructuring we need to be able to move conversations to a new (private) channel.

Now that we can manage access to channels - even more important to manage the conversations within

I concur with the rest of the members here, the ability to move conversations would be great. Just like we see in forum (remember those?) where a thread will be moved to a different topic due to the evolution of content or it being started in the wrong place, the ability to move conversations around would be a nice feature.

Just reiterating what many have already said. But here's my story. After hundreds of posts to our own Team, trying to minimize the number of Channels, I now find myself in a needy position of breaking out a few subject matters into new Channels. We already have great posts and don't want to recreate them, one-by-one. Yes, we can put a link to a post, but that's not the same at all.
Here's the ask - I need the ability to move a Conversation from one Channel to another within the same Team. No harm, no foul, with regard to maintaining the integrity of the posts.
I fully understand that Microsoft is "working on it." Yes, they are releasing a lot of great features. But, we need this feature. Thank you. -

I would like to include Normal Chat threads in this. To be able to move a series of direct chat messages to a channel thread.

Yes, We need this, it would make such a big difference when someone starts a separate conversarion in Chat and it should be in a conversation in a Channel

Gains importance: a conversation may typically start one-on-one, then more people get invited in till someone realizes they had better used a channel for this.

Survey link doesn't seem to work, this feature is absolutely critical to the roll out of Teams across the business and should have included as standard. Updates would be useful, thank you

This is a badly needed feature - crazy that it was not included as a basic feature.

Absolutely vital for managing teams. Many groups need to re-structure in order to get the most out of the Teams Structure and migrating conversations from one channel to another is extremely important.

Kinda embarrassing when you click on read the admin replies. Felt for Warren having to keep coming back with delay after delay. I am a relatively new user and wanted to shift something to a different channel. Thought a quick search, find the way to do it and go ahead. Stopped in my tracks.

This is a feature we need desperately. It will impact how much we can utilize Teams because we need to start discussions on the fly regarding technical changes/issues several resources are involved in. But then after the conversation, we need to move the chat/channel into a different channel that can be used for future reference.

This a much needed feature, and I see it has been in the works for a year now. Come on Microsoft, get this out the door and to our desktops & tablets !
