Merge/consolidate channels
We changed the mind about the way we used some channels. We decided that some of the channels need to be merged. It would be nice to be able to do this without using history. We want history to be merged.

This request is now being reviewed by the feature team! I’ll keep you posted as to the future decision.

Microsoft really does have the worst product managers/owners in the business. How does such basic and essential functionality as Content Management get completely ignored or dismissed over 3-5 years?

In learning Teams, a lot of teams were set up which should have probably been channels. We stll need the information in those teams, but it would be much more productive if I could move this information to another team.

@Microsoft PLEASE provide an update on this. I have so many Teams now it has become overwhelming to remember where to post project information. We need to be able to move channels and consolidate Teams as project owners change over time.

How long does it take to get something "reviewed"??? It's been 2 and a half YEARS. This is a very critical and obvious oversight. Please provide some update on this topic.

Why the request continues in "reviewing" status since 2018 August. I have checked from the begining but nothing changes... Is it possible to have an answer?

It's a little discouraging that this is still under review 2+ years later. Either decide to do it and put it in the roadmap or deny. Please ********* the roadmap, this is very much needed as it allows the organization to keep things consolidated. For new organizations, like ours, it's a learning curve to get started and a merge allows for corrections.

Being able to merge teams and to move a channel from one team to another would be enormously helpful. I have orphaned teams and channels, as we have reorganized projects. As a result work and chats get lost when it is posted to the inactive legacy orphan channel/team.

Yes, please! We need to be able to merge teams and also to merge channels without losing the history or the members, and it would also be really good to be able to move assignments to other channels.

@Warren, the UserVoice raised back in 2017, and now we are in pandemic stricken 2020. Hope MS team can come up with the solution soon.

Agreed! Our organization quickly adopted the shift to Teams right at the beginning of COVID. We had a fair amount trigger happy creations with channels that ultimately need to be merged to avoid confusion for the employees.

+1 for us. As we onboarded to Teams, some were a little Channel happy and this now creates some stagnation as workers aren't sure which channel to post in. A simple "combine this channel with X channel" feature would be fantastic!

could be great just to merge two general channels in two teams to be two channels in one merged team. To spilt channels into individual teams would be vice versa. cloning a team incl. contents (backup, restore?) could be one step.
