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.

The team is reviewing this item and discussing potential short term and long term solutions for this. Thanks.

@Microsoft - do something about this ASAP.
At least allow Team owners to hide these General channel logs. Or put this somewhere else.
Big turn-off having this issue. -

Agreement with so many of these comments! Employees should not learn this way that their co-worker was let go. And as the admin it is my name associated to the removal. I don't need / want to be the visible remover - I need to be behind the curtain!

This needs to be fixed ASAP as it is causing unnecessary anxiety for the people in my organization! Please don't add to the stress Teams team.

Please create a change for this. My reasons are the same as others... no one needs to see the terminations on this channel. Thank you!!

Notification should off in the General channel either option should available to turn on / Off , it is noisee for everyone who are added in the team.

How was this ever seen as a good idea. Very keen to be able to turn this line off or hide the General channel completely. It is a terrible first exposure for new people to Teams.

When you have the whole company in one team Channel - this is how people find out about a termination. It lowers morale and adds anxiety that should be communicated by the Management team and not by a channel. PLEASE CHANGE THIS. We are having to create workarounds on how we terminate staff, which is now questionable by the Security dept.

We are using Teams for our faculty and parents, and regularly have to add/remove people. It is awkward that everyone sees when faculty or families leave, and it takes up a bunch of room which moves the useful information off up the top of the screen where its hard to find.

Unfortunately, this is how a lot of people learn of terminations, which undermines other communication channels. Please make this is a priority.

This should be a high priority for Microsoft to fix asap. It's not a good look to see so many people leaving the team and potentially leaving the organization.

Alex, "discussing potential short term and long term solutions" are great BUT doesn't help us. So, kindly do something soon and not just discuss for ever. The community is there to help if u need.

please please please, there has been a long string of identical requests to you now with little action, apparently. We cannot have the General Page be cluttered for all the members by potentially sensitive information on actions. This is not just a question of tidiness but opens a huge can of HR and governance 'worms' that are entirely unnecessary. If that cannot be done quickly, we will quit Microsoft Teams for good soon. thanks,

All those notifications are useless to my team members. This hinders my ability to use the General channel for anything intentional.

Badly needed feature to mute/remove those messages.
No further explanation needed, as all previous comments already cover that. -

This is stopping us from inviting guests who are new to Teams within Fortune 500 companies and would likely recommend internally to their IT. This is the only showstopper as we can't expose emails and names from other companies (not GDPR, but same issue).

Just have an owner channel that is only visible to the owners of the Team and drop all these "log" messages there... this implementation is bad.

Channel system messages must be either moved to an owners only view or allow owners to delete. The noise is a massive distraction. Please make this a priority.
