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.

    Recently added a Notes tab, and the "Tab Conversation has Begun" (not being used) is making the UI unusable for Notes - it takes up 1/3rd of the display, with notes in the other 1/3rd and the left menu in the other 1/3rd (unfortunately, I'll have to remove the Notes tab as it's not usable--unless someone can provide a way to hide/disable this "feature"). I also would like the ability to remove/hide the Conversation tab and/or rearrange. I saw prior notes regarding this from 2017, with a note (guessing from a MS person) that this 'issue' was being worked on? Any idea of when???

    Also, what about the ability to resize the windows?

    Yes please
    can someone urgently help remove the conversation has begun tab from teams.

  • Rae commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Agreed. I want to move the Files tab to the first position and the conversations tab to the second position and can't figure out how. This causes a lot of confusion with my team.

    Here is another vote to add this feature. We actually want to start on the Wiki page as this is more intuitive for the user but starting on conversation and having to click over every time is an pain and not needed. Let us design the space how OUR TEAM works, not how you want them to.

    We are evaluating Teams. Conversations with a person keep growing. You can not clear them, you can not delete them. Does not make sense. We will have to find a different solution.

    Makes all sites look very amateurish - unless someone has done something clever - I can't

    Agree. All tabs should have the option to be moved or removed, including Conversations tab and Files tab. I personally do not use the conversions tab when using channels, removing it would allow for me to create more tabs without having to use the drop down menu to view the tab.

    How many more comments need to pile on this thread before MSFT realizes that something is off here? Not even being able to rearrange the tabs?! Come on.

    Also straight up - no one is using that Conversations tab.

    This is a real need - To either be able to hide the conversations tab in a channel or move it would be great!

  • Pete Garvey commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is definitely needed! Note every channel needs a chat, and with chats in every channel, it gets confusing for people to know where to put communication.

    Yes we need this! Never foresee using chats, should be user-defined not thrust upon us!

  • JJ commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, would very much improve the MS Teams product if you could rearrange or hide conversations & files tabs. Or even if you could set the default tab to be a different one.

  • Jen commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Agreed. Please add this feature(Ability for users to REMOVE or HIDE the conversations and files tab) for your users MS Teams' Team. It is very clunky and I don't want either of these tabs front and center on my other Channels.
