As a Team Owner, can i hide standard channels for all users

Question

Inside the Teams UI, i can hide a channel as follow;-

this will show the channel inside the "hidden channels" list. At first i thought this will also hide it for all the Teams members, but seems this will only hide it from my list.. so is there a way to hide a Teams channel for all members?

Thanks

Your only option is up to 10 channels can be set to "Show" for a Team for others, but you cannot remove their channels that are set to show.

You cannot hide channels for other people. Only your own and only through the client.

The option to "Show for others" is in the channel settings for a team. Where you can enable up to 10 channels to automatically be shown for anyone that joins the team.

Whenever you get to a certain number of channels they start going under the hidden channel list. The auto show promotes certain channels that you want to guarantee show up in the list to people in your Team unless they hide it themselves. You can set up to 10 channels to do this.  Unless they have changed the way it works in the new client for some reason that is how it used to work.
