Interchangeability of calendar and invitation/reminder functions in Teams and Outlook
Need full access to Outlook calendars and an option to have email invitations and reminders for meetings interchangeable/in-sync with Outlook.
Interchangeability of Outlook and Teams calendars and email invitations/notifications for meetings needed; Teams lacks the full suite of options available in Outlook, but the calendar/invitation/reminder function of Teams should really be fully interchangeable and compatible with Outlook. Otherwise, it leads to confusion.

Provide ability to remove users added to recurring meetings' chats
Reposting another users suggestion from the Public User Voice
We have the following scenario that cannot be remedied without deleting a recurring meeting:
1. User A and B have a recurring weekly meeting in Teams.
2. User C is invited to join the call on this meeting during one instance.
3. Even though User C has not been invited to the recurring meeting, User C now has access to the Teams chat of the subsequent recurring meeting instances.
This seems like a huge bug that you cannot remove a user from seeing the chat of a meeting to which they…36 votes -
notification
So you know how you can turn on the notification "all activity" for a channel in a team. It would be nice to be able to turn on and off "all activity notification" for one whole team that is separate from other team. Not notifications for the whole app.
Example : Click on the 3 dots beside the team name ( drop down menu - manage team, add channel, add member etc..) not general and have an option that states "turn on all notification" in that drop down menu that way you don't have to it individually for each channel.

Allow the ability to have a confidential discussion during a public live event
We need the ability to switch to private mode for internal confidential discussion during a public Teams live event and then back to public mode. During the private discussion time, we should be able to have a message being displayed on the screen for example streaming will proceed soon.

Mic default to off
As mentioned in the non-gov Teams idea lists, the mic should default to off when people are joining a meeting. At the very least, make this a user option.
A related, nuanced option would be to give an admin control to pin certain people (presenter) to on, so that they are untouched by the "Mute All" button.

Allow for presenter to see chat and hand raised
In Teams meetings, the presenter cannot monitor the chat box or the hands raised, which makes presenting really clunky. Inevitably someone needs to monitor the chat box and interrupt the presenter rather than allowing the presenter to handle it when they want.

Enable participant to remove their own video from their screen while still being visible to others.
If you could toggle off the video screen showing while still keeping the video feed for others it would mean one more team member was visible to you. Many people find their own video disconcerting and distracting. If they could toggle it on and off it would actually enable more natural behaviour. An icon would be required to let them know they were still steaming with it toggled off.

Convert a team into a channel
If we didn't plan ahead, or if needs change, we should be able to convert a team into a channel then move it to another team. Rather than have Team A, B, C, and D, it would be nice to have Mgmt Team with Channels A, B, C, D. However, it seems once you've created the separate teams you are stuck with that structure.

Overall dashboard for planner in teams
In teams it would be nice to have a consolidated roll up of planner events. If it showed just a percentage and the name of the planner group would be helpful.

Features global administrator to disable the team
Features global administrator to disable the team
We are a global administrator managing 70,000 users.
If there are many users, many teams are abandoned and inactive.If there are many inactive teams in a tenant, there is a risk of information leakage.
However, deleting a team risks the loss of information or business impact.One thing the global admin wants to do before deleting a team is to disable it and watch it.

Move the tool bar
Need the ability to move the Teams meeting tool bar to a different location. When a person is presenting, the tool bar hides a portion of the slides being shown.
