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

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

Thanks HenryPhillipsNimbitech. I tried both, in House and publicly available bot. in both case i get Default message in General channel of selected team when you add the bot for first time. So, if it's possible to change this behavior. You can try any bot like GitHub, Polly, etc.
When you add bot in Team it sends you welcome message in General channel. but if i want Welcome message in other channel is it possible??
