Creating smaller groups within a Teams channel?
You can't subdivide a channel. Solution is to use private channels: then only people who you give access to will see the information in that channel. If you are not part of a private channel, you can't see it. Here is how to set them up, when creating the channel create them as private as opposed to standard channels and add the required users

Hi Helene1685
Yes I understand - the responsibilities of the Team Owner should include that they actively manage channels over time to prevent channel sprawl, same as Teams.
There are a few alternatives:
- You could look to use Group Chat instead, and amend the group chat titles to reflect
- You could look to use access to a Standalone SharePoint Site and control it that way
I don't think from what it sounds like, they will be effective as private channels. Now, there has been quite a few asks over the years for creating channels within channels, so I have raised a feedback for it here

You can vote up on it and follow it so you should be notified if Microsoft ever pick it up
Hope that answers your question

- Thanks for your support and suggestions! I will vote for that feedback.
