Teams Owner Can't Remove Member
H,
I have a user that is an owner of a Private Team. They are trying to remove a member from the group but when they click on the "x" icon to remove members the icon gets stuck doing the spinning icon. This is not allowing them to remove members. Teams allows them to add members but not remove them. Is there a setting I'm missing?
Notes:
Other owners can remove members
I can remove members using the Admin centre
I have also tried to get the owner to us the web app as well as the desktop app and the same problem happens.
Thanks for any help,

Open the channel on web sharepoint, click on the members icon on the top right corner, remove member from Group membership, it will be reflected the same in your Teams desktop client.
MakettoAng Thank you! That worked for members, but I also need to remove Guests and I can't do it that way - it has no option to do so.
LisaBureau Oh...I think we all get into the trap. I just found a very simple solution without accessing to sharepoint. The guests and members can be easily removed at "Members and guests" section with the condition that you can't use the name search, when you search for members it doesn't allow you to remove. Don't search name! Just look up the name with your big eyes.
- this topic is about this?

Team owners can't remove members from teams using the search feature in Microsoft Teams- I think it is..
Let;s wait for the next update. Thanks.
- In our organisation we see this problem occur on 400+ member Teams. The members of this team can only be deleted through the Admin environment.
- You could ask your Teams Administrator to assist you resolve this issue by removing the member from Admin center.
- I suppose you can try demoting him to member, then making him owner again.
VasilMichevThanks Vasil, we just tried but we are getting the same problem. This is very strange.
Kyle_Barnett Im having the same problem and cannot delete members from a team i created and own. Blue spinning wheel. Have tried web and app version. Have logged out and back in. Have tried iPad, iPhone and computer. No solutions.
