How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Allow admins to manage channel membership

By default all team members are added to all channels. Admins should be able to add/remove team members from channels, and should also be able to disable the default behavior of having all team members automatically added to newly created channels.

    Totally agree. Now being member of all channels causes a lot of unwanted spam. For example, I try to ping one channel (e.g. Dev Team), but it pings basically everyone since all company members are members of the channel I pinged. All users are not technically orientated and rather ignore all the notifications than try to manage channels they are in. Admins should have the privileges to remove and add members to channels.

    Agree. Team Admins should be able to freely choose different Members for different Channels, not restricted to the initial list of Team members but to everyone else in the platform.

    Hi Eduardo, I agree with you. I am guessing you mean Team owners, not platform admins?
