Summary:
Microsoft Teams will introduce new controls in March-April 2026 allowing users to customize quick views in chat and channel lists, showing them only when messages exist. These controls require no admin action, apply to Windows, Mac, and web, and improve focus by managing visibility and behavior of quick views.
Details:
[Introduction]
We will introduce new controls that allow users to customize how quick views appear at the top of their chat and channels lists in Microsoft Teams. This update aligns with customer feedback requesting a cleaner and more focused experience. These controls will help users see only the quick views that are relevant to them and manage when those views appear.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 555856.
[When this will happen]
Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out in March 2026 and expect to complete in March 2026.
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCCH, and DoD): We will begin rolling out in late March 2026 and expect to complete by mid‑April 2026.
