Is it possible to define default Tabs when opening a channel?

I would like to define which tab opens, when I open a channel. I always need the same Tabs and it would be easier for me, if Teams would open my favorite tabs instead of the channel chat....

 

Can anybody help?

 

Thanks in advance 😉

      I found this item when searching for a way to default to the Notes tab upon opening a channel.

      I attempted to access the item to up-vote it and it is no longer available.  My hope is that means it is in the road map.  Is anyone aware of a plan to implement setting up a default tab to open for either a channel or all channels?

       

      Thank you!

    I can't believe this constantly-requested feature is being ignored for YEARS. It's so simple. Just let the channel owner choose a default tab, what's the problem?
    I have created a neat sharepoint landing page with useful links, the latest infos etc... But nobody sees it, because it's a tab you have to click on first. Nobody does that, and new team members don't even know this useful page exists.

    Almost 3 years and this feature is still missing. WHY? The more i work with implementing MS 365 tools in my company the more unusable they turn out to be. And not they are removing features that actually added a modicum of usability to make their product worse. There's now no way to set which application tab opens on the Teams startup. It all defaults to chats, which is the least usable part of the teams experience. It's as if they are trying on purpose to annoy their users.
