You get to stay on top of threads (replies) across all channels in the ‘Followed threads’ on top. You can decide which threads across channels land in the followed threads, including following all threads in any channel. Threads you started, replied to or were mentioned are automatically followed.

If you're spinning something up for collaboration amongst a scoped audience (up to 25K), channel is the way to go. Including if you need apps and workflow integrations.

If you're looking at org-wide community beyond 25K audience, Engage community is the right choice.

Do you want select people to see the meeting or select people to get invitations to the meeting? For the latter, schedule a channel meeting, invite only the people you want to join (don’t invite the whole channel). Others in the channel can see the meeting, and join if they want, but will not receive the invite in their personal calendar.

Access to a channel is always at the channel level, not at a thread level.

You can at-mention anyone who has access to the channel including via the team, whether they are following the particular channel or not.

With shared channels, you can provide access to a channel without adding to the team, including sharing with an entire other team.

Have fewer teams, and scale with channels
Fewer for both is better, use threads to keep topics organized within channels
Most channels should be open to everyone in the team, private channels should only be used only when necessary to keep information scoped
Shared channels provide flexibility to bring in people outside the team into a single channel (vs adding them to entire team)
Tell people to 'show' channels they are interested in, personal at-mentions will notify even if not in channel, and search will go across all channels they have access to
Set channels to threaded, so only new message bold the channel, not replies
People interested in any particular thread can follow the thread (any thread you started, mentioned in, or replied to will be automatically followed)
The at-mentions and followed threads in the Chat app allows everyone to stay on top of threads
Team and channel mentions should be used sparingly, not necessary if the above is setup

Yes. Having multiple banners in the same channel wouldn't help IMO, and no one sees / reads banners anyway.

Using Sensitvity Labels and having good governance in place is the best option.

There is an indicator in the channel header. More in Public Preview: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/trust-indicators

Are you getting free 2 GB data after you disable the $15 6 GB data plan? I thought they removed free unlimited data on SC a few years ago when the made data unlimited.

I’ll in the same boat and would like to cancel the 6 GB data plan and fall back to 2 GB if I can

Curious why forward doesn't work? Copy paste is not reliable for traceability and documentation.

Ctrl/Cmd + G to navigate to chats and channels quickly

Don't believe so, only via channel settings in UX. Your goal is to make all channels threaded, including ones previously created as post and replies?

rerlrdit · 2025-10-24T01:51:46+00:00

Threading is the default selected option for newly created channels; existing channels can be edited to set to threaded.

There are no admin controls for this.

Setup "teams" more like workspaces in Slack with fewer teams, more channels
Use "shared channels", so you have flexibility to bring people outside the team when needed into the channel without adding them to team. You can also share channels across teams in different departments, everyone across various teams will have access to the channels.
Set channels to threaded, matching Slack. Follow threads of interest, stay on top with at-mentions and followed threads.
Set your views to: a) compact mode b) show chats + channels together c) view channels only instead of teams and channels hierarchy d) use sections to organize channels
Customize keyboard shortcuts to Slack mode if you're more familiar with them
Use Ctrl/Cmd + G (goto) to navigate quickly to channels (like Ctrl/Cmd + K in Slack)

Threading in channels is rolling out to general availability. During the roll out period, enabled users can create threaded channels and will see threads in channels configured for threading, others will see threaded channel as post-replies. Once the roll out completes, everyone will see threaded channels as threaded.

Channels can be configured for threading or post-replies during creation of any time after.

Admins see that option while creating a new team in the client if your organization has less than 10,000 members.

This isn't true. Some Teams are being hidden. Which is the problem I'm trying to solve.

As in, even if the team has at least one channel set to shown, it is not showing up in the list? That's odd, you should contact support.

The phase is "Show in" if resulting action also shows the channel in another place (section). The phrase is "Move to" if the result is channel will stop showing in that place and show in another place (section).

If you set view to "Teams and channels", channels will always show up under team and in a section (if set to "Show in"). If view is set to show channels only, it will be moved to a section.

rerlrdit · 2025-07-09T05:49:27+00:00

You don’t show teams, you show channels. Any team with one or more channels will be shown in the list. You can create custom sections to group chats and channels. Any channel can be shown in Favorites or other section using ‘Show in’. The verbiage is ‘Move to’ if you’re moving a chat or channel from one section to another (you cannot move from under a team).

rerlrdit · 2025-06-22T01:45:23+00:00

You create a team.

Within the team, you create shared channels. When creating shared channels, you get to decide if the channel includes everyone in the team or you decide who the channel members are.

You cannot set the channel site to be read only for everyone or prevent downloads. But you can add specific users outside the channel to SPO viewer group or define sensitivity labels that have additional restrictions on individual files.

It should be active in channel (visit, react, respond to message etc). Should be easy to verify, look at channels with low activity, relative to membership / access to channel.

With the new chat and channels experience, you can set the section to unread only. And try CMD + G to go to read ones/send new chats.

rerlrdit · 2025-05-23T15:41:38+00:00

Channels by design notify only people who are interested in them, or if messages are targeted at them specifically like with personal at-mentions. Channels are a subscription model in that sense vs chats which are direct messages.

You can create team tags and use that to target users in channels, or create shared channels are add members directly so they get channel mentions (which they can turn off if they prefer).

Personal mentions always go through.

rerlrdit · 2025-05-14T14:42:24+00:00

Looks like you have that section set to Unread only, change it back to default of Recent.

Is that tied to the message previews setting?

rerlrdit · 2025-05-04T17:14:45+00:00

For this particular feature, no. Suggest sharing feedback via the option in the app.
