Teams Owner Can't Remove Member
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.

MakettoAng this would be great... but with a group of 900 members, selecting from a non-alphabetized list is really challenging. Also, the member list in SharePoint is also circling. Is there an ETA to fix this issue for large teams? We are not able to use MS 365 groups yet to better manage.
- MakettoAngMar 15, 2022Copper ContributorDon't expect Microsoft Team will fix this issue in near future as viewing this issue happened in the past few years till now. The fastest way that you can find and remove the name of "owner/member" is goto the SharePoint, click on "members", in "Group membership" right panel, slide the bar to the bottom most and press ctrl+F to find the name. The tricky thing is you can't find the name from top to bottom but from bottom to top.
As it doesn't allow you to remove guests from SharePoint, the only solution I can think for now is copy the "members and guests" list from Teams Desktop App and paste into Excel sheet, filter the keywords "Profile picture of " and numbering the name list then you will have an idea of the approximate position, return to the Teams Desktop App and find the closer name and slowly catch the exact position of the name that you want to find out.
