Change which Tab is default landing page for a Team and/or Channel
Right now the conversation tab is the default landing page for a Team and/or Channel.
I want to be able to have a SharePoint site landing page in a tab and that tab be the default tab open when you navigate to a team or channel.
Think of it like a landing page for that team. You may not want it to drop right into Conversations. If you can have a SharePoint page with a Microsoft Teams conversations web part, you get the best of both worlds.
I can see a lot of scenarios where you'd want the chat window open and another tab at the same time. Rather than having to context switch. Imagine the SharePoint page tab being the way to do that by using Web Parts on a dashboard. A web part for the Microsoft Team and another web part for whatever was in another tab.

I am not sure that this is so much a request for a feature. It is more like, I would like a "feature" removed. While in Teams, I can change the order of the tabs by click-dragging the tab. But, if I try to drag my custom tab to the spot before "Conversation" or "Files", it gets moved to the #3 position (after Conversation and Files). So... I can move the tabs. But, the "Feature" is that I can't make it 1st... which I would presume would also make it the default tab to view. So, instead of adding to your workload and asking you to complete this... backlog?... how about you send me the small chunk of code that handles the moving of the tabs, I will delete the syntax that says "Don't allow the user to put the tab in the #1 or #2 position" and you can then compile that into your nightly builds. DONE!

For a K-12 school, most would prefer landing on a page about the subject or classroom rather than the disorderly conversation tab page. Every time a student or teacher clicks on the Team they will almost immediately have to click away from the Conversations tab. Even in the better Microsoft's demo for Teams used in education, the picture that displays on the demo would be a picture of a topic for a subject where people can understand instead of the Conversations page.

Trying to push people to use a product a certain way never works!!! Let your customers decide how best your product fits them. Trying to push everyone to conversations doesn't work "for most" and it certainly doesn't work for every single channel built on Teams.

I can't figure out how to set my default open page like I do in a browser. Every time I open this I'm some place new and have to waste time navigating to where I *really* want to be. Is there a setting for this?

+1 on this feature. Shouldn't be too hard to introduce a local app setting that allows the user to configure which tab opens by default in each channel. - Global setting and channel setting would be ideal, but at very least a channel option would be most beneficial!

I know there may be some more pressing features, but it would really make Teams more useful if tab order would be customizable. Now that Converstions and files is pushed there first, not cool.

This feature would be very beneficial toward creating a more useable product. Stepping into the Team use is totally dependent on my trust in MS pushing features and fixes.

Yes Same Here - I want to add a SharePoint Web Page and use it as a Landing Page to Link our Old Site directly into Teams - and not having it as the default makes it very clunky! Please add asap. Thanks

Yes this a pretty basic concept and should be added asap. It is extremely annoying to land on a page which nobody uses.

Agreed, this is an extremely basic capability. Customizing your first view in a team productivity tool is so 101 it's hard to believe this is still lacking.

I'll add my voice to the chorus. Our default landing page preference would be pretty much anything BUT conversations.
