Channel 2.0. announcements - Format option headline missing
When I switch on the Channels 2.0. option, and proceed to create an announcement in one of my channels, I do not see the option to change the background of my headline (picture upload). I normally upload a customized banner for different type of announcements, but I don´t seem to have this option anymore. Will it be introduced again in a later release?

- Can you please share some link or reference, even in preview about features for channels 2.0 ? (blogpost or smth)
Also, is this private preview or?
I also can not find the Roadmap feature id for this.- Rolled our in private preview under TAP (if I am correct).
- thank you, i am unable to find procedure to enroll customer tenant to private preview / TAP, do you have any reference for this maybe? thank you in advance.
- I prefer the previous descending layout from 1.0, folks.
Can we have this as a persistent option in 2.0?
Users could choose how they want the UI to behave.
Thank you - pedro_salvador_gomes

Hey there! Well many things will change with the 2.0 option - both things, removed and added. I don't think anyone (reliable source) can disclose to you if that will be added later or not, but I can tell you that many things are being worked on and the ones not showing now or in the next update can always be release in the future - keeping in mind that the opinion of the users is what matters the most. If you belong to an Org that have MS support, there is always the option to request a DCR in the future 🙂 - Quick question. I just saw this setting in MS Teams for the first time. and am not sure what it does. Do you happen to know what it's supposed to do?

Channels 2.0 is a project to introduce a more familiar model that better supports channels where users can synchronously collaborate on many ongoing conversations. They had things like:
- The compose box and recent posts will appear at the top of the page. It’s much easier to
start a new post, keep up with the latest conversations and participate - giving users the confidence that they’ve not missed anything. - Every post is now a true conversation users can focus on. Users can navigate to a conversation
view that makes the discussion more engaging and synchronous, just like a chat. Users can also pop out the post, keep an eye on the discussion, while continuing to work on other topics. - Choose from a new range of post types such as announcements to highlight a milestone or to
recognize a team’s accomplishment. This will give users more efficient ways to engage with other
channel members and be more expressive. - Pin posts to make it easy for everyone to know what’s important in the channel and quickly reference it.
Hope this helps to understand a little bit more about channels 2.0!
This change is absolutely horrible from a developer standpoint. For years we pushed back to use Slack instead of Teams, however Enterprise IT chose Teams because it was included in the 0365 license.
The posts system in 2.0 is even _less_ like a chat interface, and as someone who relies in communicating with developers across multiple time zones... it just strengthens my resolve to move our team to Slack.
