How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Rearrange all Tabs within a Channel

I know a similar request is marked as "We have this!", but it's not possible to move all tabs.

I can rearrange the tabs that I add, but Conversations and Files cannot be moved.

I would like to have a channel that starts with a Planner tab, and another that starts with a Wiki tab.

Not everyone channel will be based around conversations, so it should be possible to move the Conversation and File tab to the far right.

    This is such a basic requirement. I need to be able to reorder all of the tabs to make TEAMS work for us.

  • Brad commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Absolutely. I want to be able to set the wiki as the default tab to open when clicking a channel.

  • CK commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, this is basic. It should be an option to make the files tab the default tab.

    Every single interaction with Teams is frustrating because we have to immediately click to another tab in every single folder.

    This is the most basic user customization, I cannot fathom why MS refuses to implement this functionality.

    This the number one feature we need for our team. Why is Conversations stuck as the default tab? It doesn't seem that anybody wants it there.

    I would also like the ability to choose the order of the tabs in a channel - thinking of moving to Teams for our Virtual Learning Environment but it would be nice to be able to prioritize which content comes first.

    Hard fixing conversations seems like some "clever" idea a decision maker had when he/she only ever considered using teams in one way. It should be such a simple fix, yet Microsoft seriously dragging their heels. This is currently a totally unnecessary restriction.

    YES! Ridiculous not to give users control of which tabs they see (if at all) and in the order that makes most sense for their org.
    Implement ASAP please!

    It is confusing if you insert a SharePoint tab with the files tab -- to average users. Need to hide or reorder to account for this.

    Allowing Conversations tab to be moved or removed from a Channel would be a huge improvement. It is the #1 frustration of our company with MS Teams as most of our Channels are used for file sharing, so it creates confusion or extra clicks for every activity.

    Yes, please make it possible to have a channel start with some sort of a homepage type thingy...
    Files and Conversations should definitely be movable!
