Disable Microsoft Teams Templates

Hi There, 

I am super excited that Teams Templates have shown up in my developer tenant 😁. But one of my clients didn't share my excitement 😟. The reason for this is they have a very defined adoption methodology and want to ensure their users are supported. Is there a way to disable this feature until they are ready?

Thanks!

    Mike Dumka We're currently working on a team template policy that will empower admins to hide/show specific templates to different users in their organization. This can include the ability to hide all team templates if desired.

      Aaron_G - as well as the option of disabling MSFT's standard templates we need the option of creating our own templates. And behind the scene, before user chooses the template, connect a given Teams template with a retention policy for chat and posts/conversations (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/retention-policies). 

       

      Will these features be available any time soon?

       

      Best regards,

      Jan Lie Børsheim

        Hello janlieborsheim,  ParLinderoth,  Andreas Zinic: 

        We expect the feature to hide/show specific team templates to be available in the TAP program soon. Please check back for updates in early 2021. 

        janlieborsheim retention policies with team templates is on the roadmap, but I cannot provide an ETA at this time.

      Hello,

      any ETA on that? We do have the need to disable those templates, too.

    Hi Mike, I've had a check around and as far as I can see there is no means to disable Teams templates currently.
