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'd have hoped that MS Teams had at least the same functionality as Skype when first released. We've been told at work we have to use and it is just a pain.

@warren: When can we expect to be able to use such feature? My teams is getting overcrowded!

I agree we need to categorise our teams into groups and to be able to give a name to every single group.

Agreed, the proliferation of teams means I need to have some structure to group similar themes together.

@Warren, any update on this?

Yes, please. When you're a member of 30+ teams, you need a way to organize all of those teams into categories.

Hello, are any plans to tree strucutre in teams, to avoid a chaos of having all teams serial?

With all of our clients, I have over 100 teams - this would be amazing.

Agreed! The ability to create custom categories would be a meaningful change.

As we use Teams more and more the ability to great groups of Teams would be super valuable. We are currently trying to use hidden teams but that isn't a great solution. I think the ability to group Teams like you can with contacts would be perfect and also consider that when you archive a team it automatically puts it into an archived group.

Up to 64 active teams in one long list..... Can we have an update on this?

I agree with everyone else -- "Favourites" and "The Rest" just isn't enough. I want to split between internal projects, external customer projects - projects I am PMing, vs projects I am architecting / developing in. This would be very helpful.

The full list is pretty unusable. Why don't you make it like Slack, aka the best chat system available?

Definitely worth more than just a vote. The ability to create your own categories and place teams inside those categories (e.g. Corporate Teams, Dev Teams, Ad-Hoc Projects, Process Teams, etc) would be incredibly useful.
I love the fact our organization is moving more and more to teams rather than each group having it's own random location of updates, but I'm afraid that we will start losing engagement as trying to organize the information provided becomes overwhelming and decreases engagement.

Any progress on this one? My list of teams I am a member of is growing by the day and becoming almost unmanageable. Thanks.

At least a way to keep the teams sorted by either alpha order and/or most recently viewed and/or most recent activity, etc. would be helpful over the pile of mess that is developing. I know you can re-arrange at will, but when you get added to another team, you have to manually re-sort them again.

I like Teams, and will love it when I will be able to sort, classify, group by categories.
