I’m sorry, but I don’t think there is any way to revert the feature. It is what it is… You could protest on the Teams feedback portal: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/ad198462-1c1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472

Some colleagues reported that they cannot find some channels in Teams anymore and so I found your post:)

I can experience the same behavior. We have lots of customer teams that get created from a MS Flow following a certain structure (5 general channels for each team). Lots of these channels are hidden now. I already unchecked the button in MS Teams saying:

“Clean up channel list” but it seems like this is not reverting it. In some customer teams we have more than 100 channels for existing projects and the general channels such as “Basic Information” for example is at the very bottom and I would need to manually make it visible. This is obviously now acceptable.

Does anyone know:

Is there a way to globally deactivate that feature via MS Teams Admin and/or Intune to prevent newly registered devices / teams from cleaning up the channel list? Could not find anything so far.

How can I revert these changes on existing devices so that it was like it was before (the general channels are on the top again).

Thanks!!

Re. channels are important – that’s why you get a chance to review them before Teams auto-hides. And if a channel is truly important, I guess people will go looking for it if it is hidden and be able to find it in the channel list.

I am actually actively going and hiding some of them that are inactive or not relevant. But i wonder how are they going to do this. Some channels are not active for a while, but still important. I should see if new messages appear there. Will it automatically unhide them in such case. I am guessing that it will not. Which will be less useful and make some messages gone unseen.
