    Laura_Morgan I've found a workaround - I can change description of any command (PLC,Class,Staff,Other) in MOBILE APP, even without admin role (if owner). But changes will not be saved if it is Class-command.

Chad_V_Kealey  As you've found, the current design does not allow you to change the description once the team is created. An admin can in fact change it in the Admin center but I understand that isn't what you need and will take this feedback back to our team. 

 

Thanks!

      lzadumkin thanks for sharing this workaround! I was very disappointed of not being able to change the team description from the desktop app, but happy to have changed it through Teams Mobile app!

        We are 1 year later - It is still not possible to change the description from the client interface, and the proposed workaround (use the Mobile app) is no longer working either ...

    I need teachers to put some specific information in the description of their already created teams that I can retrieve with powershell.   It's not practical for me to do it in admin centre as there are over 600 teams and eventually there will be around 1000.
