How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

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.

    Would be great! I also find it frustrating not to have a choice on the default tab.

    Two and a half years and 4000+ votes later...? Any news on this besides "on the backlog" ?

    Please! A 'set-tab-as-default' toggle would really help some of our adoption. Easily done with SharePoint list views... seemingly not so with Teams

    Wish you guys would stop wasting time... just add a default tab opening setting option - people have been asking for years...

    Please make an option to have "folders" (i.e. files) the default landing page for Teams. It is an extra click every single time I have to navigate and very distracting and frustrating.

    I agree that it would be extremely helpful to have a landing page, ideally for a Team but at minimum for a Channel. Posts are not necessarily the most important part of a channel, it may be News, a Project timeline, added files, etc. If nothing else, make the SharePoint site the default if existing. That would allow featuring the most important information for a Channel.

    Please add my voice to the chorus of over 4100 others who need this functionality ASAP.

    Any chance we could get this off the backlog ASAP? It would help us drive more of our client interactions to Teams...so good for us and good for Microsoft!

    Please add this! The utility of teams is seriously limited without this.

    Just searched for this capability and am 1.) surprised that it's not available; and 2.) disappointed that it hasn't been added considering the number of requests and the seemingly simple modification on the part of MS.

    It looks like the request to have the ability to arrange tabs has been suggested for more than 3.5 years......when do you anticipate it getting off the backlog list?

    Hello - the usefulness of this simple, user friendly app is greatly reduced by limiting our ability to customize to best suit our own team needs.

    This option is needed urgently. It should come off the back burner and be worked on. It can vastly improve the user experience of teams.

  • MH commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Definitely need this. Would help with onboarding to have teams direct to a SP page or wiki by default instead of the posts tab.
