What’s happening
Microsoft is making some changes to Channels in Teams. Rollout starts in mid-June and should be finished by the end of June. The University’s tenancy will be updated at some point during this period.
What’s changing
Here’s a quick tour of the new Channels interface:
- Compose box and recent posts will move to the top of the page.
- New information sidebar lets everyone see the channel info and updates right in the channel.
- Posts will behave more like chat threads – you can view in a pop-out window so you can keep an eye on it while you continue working.
- Pin posts to keep important posts visible in the new sidebar.
- Simplified badging makes it easier to see new unread activities and helps you focus on the channels that need your attention, for example, if you have been @mentioned.
