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.

Apparently there is a third party solution out there to merge two channels together, check their website https://agatsoftware.com/microsoft-teams-channel-management/

The more teams is being used the more we realise we need to use it more effectively so the ability to merge channels would be very useful and important

Any update or timeline for this request, please?
We are running into a Teams sprawl and department mergers which make a feature like this very essential. -

Update please, We are a MS Partner and many of our customers are clamoring for this simple, yet elusive ability to merge many channels into one, including chat history. I see 3rd party tools out there with demos of how their solution (costs $$$) can do this so it is quite possible to do for sure.

This is an annoying limitation in the current product. It should be possible to make changes in Teams to follow organizational changes.

Would be nice if there is an update to this, since it is under review for about 3 years now...

With the extensiveness of teams usage across the world, one would think that Teams features would be growing in maturity and become increasingly intuitive. However, just off of my head, I can already identify so many glaring issues with Teams that has been asked since the launch of it.
For example, the lack of flexibility for apps like Wiki/OneNote which is meant to take notetaking because of their limitations; the inability to mass import guests on Teams but for some miraculous reason is available on web; which brings me to the next point of the "unique" features available exclusively on different platforms (phone app/desktop app/web app); and lastly, the lack of a master file that can easily be pinned rather than a ton of smaller channel folders. This list is not exhaustive.
It is sad and disappointing to see the amount of unsolved issues and limitations that I come up across online whenever I try to search for a solution myself. Buy for some reason, the amount of partnerships with other third party apps have increased at a much faster rate than the problems are being resolved. My current experience with teams so far has led me to conclude that Teams is only trying to achieve more corporate partnerships and capitalize on the users at the expense of spending some more manpower to solve all the nitty gritty issues faced by everyday users.
