Display the description of the team and channels
Every team and channel has a description that can be entered, yet there doesn't seem to be any way to see that description unless you can edit. How about making the description visible under the title in the right window? Maybe even a setting that allows me to make descriptions visible or not (on/off switch).

i mean what the use of having a description if its not visible effortlessly, i think when you hover on the channel for like a sec, it would be displaced with a kind of zoom in lens effect. that way it will give you a feel of what’s inside the channel before even opening it.
but its very important!!!! very!!!!

I am looking for a way to do this. Having the description readily available for the members of the team will prove most useful.

If not able to make visible, at least make searchable. Or allow for 'tags'.

Please make this a reality. All the channel naming conventions in the world cannot guarantee that users understand the purpose of a channel if a description cannot be pinned in the content pane on the right side above threads.

Features must provide value. A description which your team cannot see does not provide value.

Agreed, I'd like to see it fully listed under the channel header when you click into a channel. And, wherever it's listed, please allow the text to wrap and show the full description rather than cutting it off. Thanks!

Yes, this is 100% necessary. I am in Teams overload now as we deploy, and having the description in the banner, either under the Public/Private and Classification identifier or to the left of it would help immensely with remembering what the purpose of each team (and ultimately channel) is for.
We used this kind of display in Slack with immense success to establish a 'ticketing' system of urgency for requests, and having it at the top of the screen was key. We need something similar to that for Teams. Even if it was a mouse-over on the Team and/or Channel name it would be helpful, but a constant display is best.

What's the point of having a description if nobody can see it?! Unbelievably dumb!

upvote, show the description when hovering over the channel name

This is a no-brainer and would take moments to implement. Why should I have to manage a channel or team to see this? Why have a description you can't easily see? The lack of showing the description easily makes finding the right channel in a big team nearly impossibly time consuming. It should probably show at the top in a hover text from the channel name. It should show as part of the helper mouseover text when you hover on a channel name (along with the full channel name). Maybe make it configurable to go away, but at least show it.

Vote! Each Channel need to have the ability to show static on top (never scrolls) a brief description for the users what belongs there and what are the rules for the channel - like this is the case in any other FORUM software

UPVOTE: can't believe that someone went to all the trouble of creating a description box for a channel that can never be viewed. Epic Fail. Please add a mouse over or right click option.
