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.

Removing the Conversation Tab is being reviewed by the feature team.
For deleting chat messages, please following progress here: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103/suggestions/33535006.
Thanks.

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!

Yes, please! I am on a project now that needs this in a dire way!

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, 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.

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.

Concur with the need to be able to hide the conversation tab or move the conversation tab to the right.

Either the conversation tab is completely useless, or I don't understand why it exists. I'd much rather have a "launch" page with useful links than a bunch of notifications telling me who I added to the Team.

Hiding the tab seems like a great option. Or at least the ability to set a default tab.
