Teams Posts & Files Tabs - making Files Tab as the default AND Renaming the General channel
Hi there Two queries. Is there a way we can make the Files the default tab when opening Teams, currently this is Posts and most people are looking for a file, so it becomes an extra click. Al...
In regards to making the Files Tab as the default, this feature is not available and has been requested by others for a few years. Here is the most recent spot available that I know of to vote and voice support for this feature to be implemented.

I feel like Microsoft changes it's support and features sites every couple years or so in an effort to be able to say we're working on it and not make it look like it's been being worked on for five years and no progress is being made. I've bookmarked requests that eventually turn into the 404 error and I find out there's a new feedback/requested features site with all newly populated requests. Sus, if you ask me.
- That the last few links I've found scattered around while searching for this are all 404 errors does tend to add weight to your suspicion. Doing a search on the support portal did reveal some active requests about it, but with less than 60 votes I feel it's yet another pop-up in the ongoing struggle.
As you say, it's almost like Micro$oft's "support" behemoth play whack-a-mole with requests for basic functionality that they're not going to implement to stop the vote numbers getting too high. Gives you some idea of what it's like being an opposition politician in Russia. >;-)
