Users added to team line removed
In each general channel a new line gets created for all new users added to a team. Can this line be removed?
As an example I setup a team and get some posts ready for welcome messages and introductions, then when I add groups of people, after a few lines all my messages have pushed up and off the screen.
We have one specific team for all in the business and all the threads are getting lost as we add each department/individuals one by one.

Thank you for your feedback! To improve the message pane in General channels, we have moved system messages to our info pane. For details see https://support.microsoft.com/office/show-channel-info-in-teams-61c3319d-a2c0-4b60-99b9-3226b9e248f9.

Will this change occur for government tenants as well? Please tell me yes...….

Could we confirm this is pushed and permanent? We have a few projects where Teams would be used with a wider staff audience but we would like to see that this change is implemented before doing so.

Also noticed this live for us about a week ago. Would love to get an update on if that was intentional or if we have any reason to expect a return of what we saw previously, and if there's any control over it for admins.

This seems live with us too. Is there a setting to turn this on and off or is it just off now?

Please provide owners/admins with the ability to hide or rename default channels, tabs, and conversations. It would delight users and save future admins a ton of time figuring out that the feature isn't there. It would remove a significant pain point.

This is something that really needs to be addressed. It is unpleasant to see this activity feed especially in the current times of the pandemic. Recently, we had to reduce our workforce, and seeing that in the feed just amplified an already difficult situation. Please address soon.

looks like regular users cant see the messages but team owners still see the messages in the general window itself. A member can still see them if they click info and see all updates. Version 1.3.00.21759

Microsoft ... come on this should have been an option from the beginning. What's wrong with you big corporations? Did you really break up with regular users? Who came up with the idea of having this restriction in the first place? Sounds like a good idea for you all at Microsoft, didn't it? ....

This feature will be very useful. We will have to change our global Teams if something isn't done soon.

Has a solution been made so that only admins can see who was added or deleted and not everyone? We need this for HR purposes in cases of terminations.

A user log of newly added people and removed people would be far more useful. I have a problem with an org-wide team where people keep seeing the notification that someone is waiting to join and they accept them (something I thought only team owners could do!). They click "Add All" when there are multiple people and I then have no idea who joined because the line in the channel just says a number of people were added only identifying one of them! "Fred Bloggs + 15 others were added", this is useless to me as I need to contact these people after they are added, there seems to be no way of finding out who they were! With nearly 500 people in the team its impossible to determine from looking at the list of names, even a "date added" would be useful!
