[How this will affect your organization:]
Before this rollout, Team owners and members can hover on the team name on the left side of Teams, select the three dots, and go to Manage team to individually manage the team and its channels. Team owners and members can see all the teams they belong to from the Your teams page. Selecting a team on the Manage teams page takes Team owners and members to the team’s General channel.
The Manage team page with the Channels tab open: Access this page from the three dots next to the team name in the left panel in Teams:
The Your teams page shows all teams you belong to. Access this page from the three dots in the upper right corner of the left panel in Teams:
After this rollout:
- Team owners and members will be able to view their teams from the Your teams page, and access channels in each team. To navigate to the Your teams page, select Your teams and channels from the three dots in the top right corner of the left panel.
- Team owners and members can select a team name to review the channels in the team and choose channels of interest to show in Teams:
- Team owners and members can search and sort on the Your Teams page or hide all channels. When all channels of a team are hidden, the team will not show in the Teams and channels list on the left side of Teams.
- Team owners and members can also view the channels in the team from the Manage Team > Channels page, and show channels of interest by filtering, sorting, and searching for channels in the team from one page.
These features will be on by default.

I don’t quite understand this update. Will the Teams button disappear and teams and channels be moved under chat? Or is it just me who interprets the images too much? lol
Hi Anna, thank you for commenting!
I totally get what you’re saying. I don’t believe the Teams button will disappear with this change. It looks like the screenshots were taken on a Teams client that wasn’t in full screen. It’s kind of funny how the Teams button is one of the first things to vanish when it’s not in full screen mode, isn’t it?
But hey, I could be wrong!
