The same channel is serveral teams
Hi. We are new to Teams and are just now creating our "Teams Organisation". We see the need to connect (or sync) a channel into several different teams. Is this possible, or is there another way to see "channel-information" without having to look for it in several teams.
Thanks,
Martin
- A channel only exists in a single Team, and cannot be be connected / synced to another Team as such.
Are you interested in the conversations in that channel, or the files?
If it's the files, you could configure the permissions on the SharePoint folder for that channel as required, then add that library / folder as a tab in other Teams.
If it is more about the conversations, you would need to perhaps have a separate Team, which all the relevant users are members of, and use a channel in that Team.

Currently listed for release in September (postponed from July). With this feature you will be able to post to multiple channels within the same team or in channels in different teams.

- and in the meantime, you could sort of fake that functionality, by getting the email address for the relevant channel in each Team - then sending an email to all of those email addresses - which is effectively the same as cross posting (but does involve email, so not ideal).
