VasilMichev thanks Vasil for your response, the issue is I am not sure which channel she is the owner as we have 15 channels here .

If you go to Manage team > Channels, you can see a full list of channels including the Private ones.

On any private channels that you are not added to, you can click onto ... > Show channel owners and you can see if this user is a part of it. You'll have to repeat the steps for other private channels that you are not a member of.

For any channels that you are a member of, in the Channel tab, go to ... > Manage channel and see the members list.

A manual process but it will help you to track down where this person is listed as the last owner of a private channel.

Hope that helps.

Cheers and best wishes

  Hi Harris021
  
  Basically two scenarios:
  
  1. If there is a Private channel that you are not a part of, you'll get the Show channel owners option.
  
  2. If you are a part of the Private channel, you can choose Manage channel and it will show you the Owners of the channel.
  
  Cheers

  Hi Harris021
  
  Manage team is in the ... of the team name itself. Your image appears to be the ... from a Channel.
  
  Once in Manage team, go to Channels and you can see all channels listed to perform the earlier advice.
  
  See how you go?
  
  Cheers
