Custom Group Categories for Teams
As I create more and more teams, I need to be able to group or categorize them. It seems like the only native groupings are "favorites" or "more". I would like to be able to create other categories. Once I get over 30 teams, grouping them into detailed categories is going to be imperative to stay organized.

Still under review by the feature team. Nothing new to report at this time.

I agree with this 100%. The current structure of teams wastes at least 30 minutes a day for me. This would make Teams infinitely more useful.

My Tandy (MS Basic) didn't let me organize my files into folders either. 40 years later, you'd think Microsoft would have figured it out.

Is it still under review? It's nearly 3 years later now.

adding my voice to this idea. i work at a school and we have a miriad of teams for all sorts of uses. we have teacher teams, class teams, state-wide departmental teams, special interest teams, temporary teams for class covers.... etc.... this would be SUPER handy to group/categorise them in some way (e.g., like the list i've just provided)

This would be a game changer for our organization as we grow project Teams. Some people in the organization can be on hundreds of Teams.

WE NEED THIS!
We are being suffocated by the number of teams. They are becoming unmanageable. Something like a multilevel tree to organize and select them them would be handy, instead of the plain list. -

Seriously, we are being suffocated with the ammount of teams we have, they become unmanageable. Something like a multilevel tree for selecting team would be very beneficial. -

This has been under review for almost four years. Meanwhile the success of teams has made it harder and harder to use the core feature.
There are already pinned teams and hidden teams. It's time to take teams organization to the next level with folders, groups, or some other navigation aide.

Yes! this! Just like outlook where you can create folders and subfolders for email. I'd love to create categories for all my (too) many teams. Then I could group Teams by LOB, product line, etc. PLEASE! My OCD Needs this!

The structure of our business requires we have employees on sometimes several dozen teams at once. (They can’t be channels because the information and memberships must be separate/and they need separate sharepoint sites.) We’d love an update on this feature as someone asked for it almost verbatim today.
Their ask was specifically about being able to organize/group teams for their own purposes, rather than at an organizational level. That is, User X wants to be able to have a, b, and c categories, which might be different from User Y’s categories.

Update on the status of this would be appreciated! This comes up regularly in the feedback of our digital champions community. Please add to the roadmap for development so we can categorise our teams and work more efficiently.

As I join more teams, Teams is becoming unworkable without this feature.

This would help a lot with Teams sprawl. It would be great to incorporate this into Teams Templates as well.

I would also flag for this. In Teaching/research, the number of teams bloom exponentially this year,

As more and more work shifts to collaboration in Teams this is becoming a real user PAIN point. Please have another look at this MS. We (users) would really appreciate it for organizing how we view groupings of work groups.
