Increase the number of pinned chats allowed
Switch over to the new chat and channel experience. It allows more than 15 pinned chats. Pinned is gone, and you have Favorites and can create other "sections." A detailed video I created on this new experience is here. https://youtu.be/ih9sSSQhrF0?si=Bgs-tMAi4fUaeTYr
This looks like it is exactly what I was hoping for, so thank you for mentioning it! Sadly, it is not available to me (and likely many others here) until it goes to a full release. Corporate policy has Teams locked down so that we cannot use the Public preview. For those who are wondering, Microsoft officially is still only stating that this will be released soon. However, a Jan 14th 2025 article written by Albert van Grondelle, a Microsoft 365 Specialist, reported that this feature should be rolled out in late March 2025. (Link below)
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/updated-microsoft-teams-new-streamlined-chat-channels-van-grondelle-jwmbe/Where I work full-time as a trainer, the chat and channel experience is hitting our tenant for regular users that are not in public preview or targeted release, so I'm hoping it hits your tenant soon. Albert is correct. This was supposed to hit in January, but Microsoft pushed it to March. Thank you!
Ah yes, this is great! Thanks for sharing! Looks like we don't have this feature available to us yet, but I will very much look forward to it. I'll talk to our admin to see if they can turn on the early access feature for us. Thanks again!
