Is there a way to change default landing channel of a MSTeam's Team.?

When i install any application in team, it  sends  default message in "General channel". So, Is it possible to change this behavior? If, Yes, can you help me  with how to do that.

  • Hi,

    There are quite a few interactions you have within Teams where you will have a check box to untick to prevent posting an update to a channel.

    Failing that and more on the app theme, is you have channel settings:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/manage-channel-moderation-in-teams

    Some settings for the standard channels when it comes to moderation, is to do with bots and connectors.

    Now the general channel is a permanent fixture and has different moderation settings to that of a standard channel. However I do wonder if you say that only owners can post messages that may be enough.

    Thanks

      Thanks HenryPhillipsNimbitech.  but the  actual  scenario is when i install any  bot in Team it always sends the landing message(First message when you install any bot) and all Default messages(like bot added, member added/removed) in "General" channel, although i select different channel while adding the bot to Team. So, is it the fixture of MSTems or  is it possible to change the landing message(when i add a bot to specific channel) to different channel other than "General".

        Hi,

        Thanks for the extra info. I think you're only chance is if setting a general channels settings to allow only owners to post. As like I said in a standard channel you can explicitly say no to bot messages but not for the default general channel.

        Out of interest is this a publicly available bot or in House. If the former, could you let me know which one and I will have a play. Appreciate it is probably any but would just like to make it as true to your scenario as possible.

        Thanks

        Henry
