Channel Moderator Limit

I'm attempting to add Moderators to a channel, but I'm receiving the error message:

"Cannot add more than 10 moderators".

I can't find any documentation indicating that the number of Moderators can be set or changed within Teams. Where is this limited? Thanks!

  • It's going to be hard coded number that we cannot change. Would be good for them to add to the Teams limits page.

    Does the 10 moderator limit on a per channel basis?

    I haven't encountered the error message but from when I add more moderators to a channel (with less than 10 moderators currently) the newly added moderators get deleted when I change views and check the list of channel moderators again.
  • Seen some cases where it seems that more than 10 are added to a channel. Can you add 8 and then add more then 2 more after, maybe it's restricted to 10 in one batch?

      Thank you very much for your replies, ChrisWebbTech . I believe this limitation may correlate to specific types of Office 365 licenses. I'm currently seeing this issue in an A5 Higher Education tenant. I started a trial of an E5 tenant to test settings, and I was able to add more than 10 moderators to a channel at once, and more than 10 moderators in total. Thanks again!

        Yeah, meant to come back and put that we discovered from the Team that the limit should be 100.
