The “Planner” app name in Teams has changed to “Tasks by Planner and To Do”

wroot: After you add the Tasks by Planner and To Do app to your Teams sidebar, right-click it and select “Pin.” That will keep it there permanently and you won’t need to re-add it every time you open Teams.

_A7med: There’s no way to permanently remove the banner at this time. We want to ensure the name change is thoroughly communicated to all our customers. However, we are turning it off soon. Until then, you can easily close it by selecting the small “x” on the far right side of the banner.

Electrox3d: We’re super glad you’re using Teams! The List view was designed to provide a very quick overview of your tasks, so we purposefully excluded the task description. Have you tried the Board view yet? That lets you choose to show additional task details, like the description or checklist.

SO_ASE: The name change shouldn’t have affected any of your current tasks. We’d suggest asking your admin team to open a support ticket with Microsoft to resolve this issue. Ask them to include “Planner” in the title of the support case to ensure the ticket is routed to the correct Microsoft team.
