Disable channel creation

Hi, Is there a global setting to prevent users from creating new channels? I can only find a way to disable private channels, but nothing for ordinary channels? -Michael

miclarsen1 Hi! I believe you're looking for 'Set-Team' and the -AllowCreateUpdateChannels parameter.

Hi MagnusGoksoyrOLDProfile,

Thank you for replying.

I knew about the local disable from within the Teams themselves, but I am looking for a global way to do this, so I don't have to go through every single Team.

ChristianBergstrom "Set-Team" changes settings for 1 team not all. Is there a setting at tenant level?

  sam919 Hi, try working with the Teams templates. But bear in mind you cannot use TAC (Teams admin center) because the team settings will not follow when using the GUI (don't ask me why). So, PowerShell or MS Graph for Teams is the way to go here.

    ChristianJBergstrom What setting is that though? I want to change the default for all teams not 1 team at a time.
