Allow meeting participants to mute each other or mute all
This is a feature of Google Hangouts we use all the time. When someone is in a noisy environment, has a mic/speaker setup that causing feedback, or is banging on their keyboard, they don't always realize it, and it's very useful for someone else to be able to mute the participant who is causing a disruptive amount of noise but not speaking.
164 votesHi everyone!
Got some great news to share this feature request is now live to the public!Mute someone in a meeting
Mute individual meeting participants straight from the meeting roster to cut down on background noise. If someone has been muted, they’ll get a notification letting them know. They’ll be able to unmute themselves if they need to chime in.
Mute everyone in a meeting
If you ever need to mute all the other participants in a meeting, head to your meeting roster and select Mute all. Each individual will get a notification and be able to unmute themselves if they need to.
Thank you all for the great feedback. We will continue to improve Teams and your feedback is key part in our efforts.

Prevent Team Members from deleting channels

163 votesYou can do this by removing the permission to delete channel from team members. To do this, go to the web browser version of teams as an ‘Owner’ and selecting the menu on the Team > View Team > Settings > and then de-slect the “Delete Channels” option.
Thanks to the user Stephen who already provided these instructions a couple months ago.

Import Shifts schedule from Excel/CSV
Shifts already has export schedule in UI. It would be great to have a option to import schedule as well, so it could be prepared in a external (legacy) system and then easily imported using UI, without need to develop code for upcoming Graph API.
This would also make possible to create a shift "template" that could be easily uploaded to new Shifts / groups.161 votesWe’re excited to announce that we now support importing a schedule from Excel into Shifts. Just follow the steps in the documentation here: https://support.office.com/article/get-started-in-shifts-5f3e30d8-1821-4904-be26-c3cd25a497d6.
Enjoy!

add timestamps on replies and chats
Please add time-stamps for replies and chats. Right now, it gives the day (i.e. Yesterday). But the next day, I can't tell when messages were sent/received. Thanks!
159 votesHey guys, sorry for the double email on this. I got some details wrong. Whoops! Let me start over…
A few months ago, you provided this feedback. We went and created this feature. Now you can see the time and date stamps in the product. Yay!
Note: When a message is sent on the same day, you won’t see the date (unless you hover) — you’ll only see the time. After the same day, you’ll see a timestamp of the exact date and time.
Ping me if you have questions on this! See contact info below.

SSO using ADFS / AzureAD
Is there a way to have the desktop app not prompt for credentials? We use ADFS and AzureAD and opening the Teams Desktop App requires an email address and password instead of just passing it through?

Remove bots
The only way to discover what a bot does is to enable it. Then after you discover you don't want it it's too late and it can't be removed. They just sit there and junk up my Teams interface.
140 votesSorry for the delay on this update, folks. It slipped off my to-do list. Luckily, it looks like a lot of you have figured out that you can remove a bot through the team settings page. This deletes the bot from your team.
If you have any questions, just tweet me at @skprufo.
