Disabled users removed from Teams
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.

Laurie Pottmeyercan you confirm that the link you've shared also includes the 'removal of users' message too, as it appears to only talk about those who have been added to a Team. I can see its got a few thousand votes, a few hundred comments already, and been open for 2 years already with lots of people complaining about it not being implemented yet - do you have any idea on what the timeline is likely to actually be?
I'm happy to vote of course, but this isn't a 'feature', its a system log publicly reporting to users that an individual has performed an action that they have not actually undertaken. That's a pretty severe bug, a huge obstacle to us using Teams (and I can see from the comments on the link you've shared it s a showstopper for lots of others too). We simply can't use big teams right now because of this bug - it's far too sensitive in a climate where people are being laid off due to economic pressures to then have Teams claiming that a particular Team Owner has removed someone from a team who has been made redundant, when they didn't do anything.
