How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

← Public

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.

    It's now August, and on a standard tenant. These notifications are still populating in the general channels. The update to teams was expected to be rolled out by the end of July. When should we now expect this to be implemented?

    Adding another name to the long list of people that want to hide these posts from the General Conversations tab. They are aggravating.

    its hard to continually battle our users to use teams and adopt it as a standard, when teams is falling behind on simple features such as this.

    Seriously, what's the hold up on this? This issue has been going on for months, if not years. Nobody wants to see a persistent list of people added / removed from the team or otherwise not employed at our organization anymore.

    Please add a setting to 'disable' notifications when a member leaves a team. This creates too much noise when leaving a team can be the outcome of several changes within an organization.

    Does it really take two years to fix this? How much intertwined code was used to add a simple text message in Teams, to justify this delay?

    Thanks Alex. Hopefully this is not too complicated to update.

    Our company is choosing to adopt Microsoft Teams (~100 employees in one division) and this already has come up as an annoying feature for large teams. We want to disable this posting. I can imagine any larger firms with huge Teams to manage would be extremely annoyed....

    To be clear, it should be for flexible for all these message postings related to member activity. Joining, adding, leaving, removing, changing from owner to member or member to owner. Make a setting in the Manage Channel area to allow the owners of a team/channel to turn all or some of these "postings" off.

    Please, Please Please add the option to remove this! It shouldn't be that difficult? When you have teams with hundreds of members this dominates the timeline when there aren't that many updates. VERY annoying and reduces the desire to use Teams vs Slack.

    This is much needed, urgently! - in some situations when an employee leaves, they and the employer reach an agreement to limit negative impact on each party of that employee leaving (this can include 'subtle' removal from workspaces. Having an '*** has removed YYY from the team' message posted to all Teams they were part of could violate any reached agreement.

    Yes please make it happen, this really holds back our wide company channel. Thank you.

  • Natalie Thurley commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes please - there should be an option for Team owners to selectively hide/delete activity notes, or put them in a separate place somewhere away from the General Channel. They are cluttering up and diluting the place where we want to make our announcements loud and clear.

    Sanjay Dhingra has a very common sense approach that balances security with user enablement: "hide notifications for 'members' of a team and only show it for 'owners.'"

  • Sanjay Dhingra commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    A simple default behaviour would be to hide notifications for "members" of a team and only show it for "owners"
