Hi RK3090,

 

Sub-Channels in Microsoft Teams is not possible.

 

You can Create Teams and inside each team, you can create only 1 level of the channel, which could be Internal, Private, or Shared.

This is terrible.  Why was this design decision made?  For example, I'd like to have one channel for new participants.  Then, I'd like to create a sub channel for EACH participant and add only the team members pertinent to that particular participant.  Otherwise, I'm going to have to flood the main channel with Team Participant A, Team Participant B, Team Participant C, etc etc.  This will make it so unruly as to make it unusable as my company grows.

 

We need to be able to do this.  And we need to be able to control exactly who has access to each team; I work in healthcare so I have to deal with HIPAA.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thank you
