How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

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.

    Any updates please. we are getting so many teams that having a way to filter them better would be great.

    As we use Teams more, the ability to categorize the numerous teams I am on, is becoming critical for the efficiency of the program.

    How is this option to organize My Teams not already a feature??

    Folders & categories are ubiquitous in productivity apps, and "channels" are present already within each MS Team, so it's not an unusual concept.

    Would highly value this feature.

    Ability to group teams by focus e.g. (Customer Teams, Department X Teams, My Teams) etc.

    Either ability to organise them into 'folder' (single dimensional parent/child structure), or to have tags for teams, and then be able to create 'views' that filter based on tags - multi-dimensional e.g. a single team might appear multiple 'views', and you can switch 'view' based upon what you're looking for / what mode you're in.

    I would give a virtual thumbs up for this feature .... Impossible to fully implement without this feature.

    This would be EXTREMELY helpful... as I've become more dependent on Teams for my day to day workflow, I now have a large number of teams that all show in "My Teams"... I would LOVE to be able to create my own folders or categories to group these into... "Clients", "Internal", "Initiatives", etc

    As people use teams more and more the ability to have custom groupings would be very helpful. We have over 150 active teams right now and it's getting messy!

    This would be very useful - it's frustrating having to scroll down to find specific teams. We have 5 or so specific teams our IT staff require easy access to for their main work, but not all on a frequent basis. It is not unusual for IT staff to be a member of 30 to 40 teams as part of troubleshooting etc which means time is lost searching through to find a team, or they forget it exists because it is hidden and post into the wrong team. Please give serious consideration to this feature. Thanks.

    If you are part of 3 Teams sites, you don't need this functionality, if you are part of 50 Teams sites, you DO.

    I second most of the comments here by other users. I have always found the user interface to be lacking. And like so many have said, taking years to fix or improve the UI is pretty sad. Does NOT bode well for Microsoft as a whole nor the Teams Dev team.
