How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

remove conversation tab

I would like the option to remove or hide the conversations tab. Teams is a great way to post and link to team related spreadsheets or slideshows and doesn't require a chat function. Keeping one sometimes means there are chat posts that are missed because they are not expected.

    I would like to have the possibility to clear or save a conversation, having all the conversation saved is not useful and do not give any added value, it only clog the application.

    I would like a way to delete or clear my recent chat history. I don't need to have a running list of all of the chats I've ever had. It just clogs up my Teams application. I know I can hide individual chats, but that's tedious. It would be nice to have a option to "clear all chat history".

    The conversations in Teams should be easy to close and permanently delete just the same easy way that can be done in Skype. Its like MS took some of the best and easiest to use functionality in Skype and DOD NOT put them in Teams. So stupid. Please make conversations easy to delete or archive in bulk and individually. Also automatic pruning or archiving of conversations based on user settings would be awesome. Too many conversations that muddy up the water.

    Alternatively there should be archiving settings that prune and delete posts on the conversations tab. Options of Never, ? weeks, ? months...etc...

    I have exchanges with people that are no longer with the company and regarding projects that have been completed so there is no reason for them to take up space in my chats window

    Please add function to delete conversation from chat tab. Skype is much more user friendly and has a more professional feel. Should simply keep skype and delete teams.

    Totally ridiculous that you can't delete a conversation in Teams. we started using Teams a year ago and already it's confusing with all the conversations in there regarding the same subject but different people. Please add the delete whole conversation not just hide.

    This thread was started some time ago, and there are still no updates. Please enable the ability to delete entire conversations. We use Teams daily in our business the way we did Skype for Business. Teams has many improvements over Skype, but the most basic function is missing. Skype would delete the conversations that were had everyday when it was closed. That enabled us to start each day fresh. We have tons of conversations and work in there. It's sooo confusing and takes way too much time to delete one by one. Please enable this feature

    ...if you're an admin, you can delete specific conversations/posts already (for all the requests that are asking for that instead of what this idea is actually for - removing the *tab*). You just have to enable that in Messaging Policies. And conversation history is also a totally different request.

    this is ridiculous that conversations from months ago are stored, we should have the availability to delete teams conversations.

    Please allow deletion of chats, as can be done for emails, spam, calendars, meetings, word docments, xcell files, folders, wiFi networks, drivers, applications,etc. Or should we delete teams and reload...

    If MS TEAMS is to take over for SKYPE, please give the ability to delete a conversation.

    Thank you

    We have been using Teams for years and its a great tool for meetings and conversations, planner etc.

    but it becomes confusing. When employee starts writing about tasks in many different conversations. Lots of different conversations with different people. You can, for example. have 30 conversations going on with the same person and it will be 30 different conversations as people in the conversations are different. It is beyond confusing when old ended conversations exist !! In addition, you can only filter on people the filter should also filter in the content of the conversations !! but a good start will be the opportunity to delete content or even hide content in the conversation
