chai1900 - I spoke with our team today regarding your question.
Teams has some background workflows today that perform actions on behalf of existing owners when syncing changes from Groups to Teams. There is planned work to move this to a system context so it will not show up as a random owner doing it. I do not know the timeline at this time.In addition, there is an ask to suppress the 'user left the team' message and we are doing some work to mitigate this so that information is not shown in the general channel as it is today. I urge you to vote on this UserVoice item if you agree that the join / removed names should not be listed in the General channel to everyone. you can find that here: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/35515990-users-added-to-team-line-removed - The team is aware of this ask and working on that experience now - additional votes may influence timing of this one.Thank you for sharing the context for the ask.
Raechel Moermond We're also seeing this behavior. It's actually a very disruptive problem. Users are being furloughed or laid off. The "has left the team" announcements are already hurting moral. In addition not being able to suppress the announcements but now to having the appearance of coming from a random Team owner (and not an admin or service account) is REALLY upsetting people.
Given the state of many businesses during this challenging time - this is an unbelievably cruel bug!
