Unable to Add Website tab to a Team Channel
Hello Crew! Yesterday I was surprised to discover that I can no longer add a "website" tab to a Teams channel. For detail, in the past I have set up a channel with a website tab to an online survey...
JakeP870 I tried adding a Website tab to a Teams channel yesterday but surprisingly found the option was gone. In the past, I had set up Website tabs to connect our project channels to external surveys like your PTR one.
These helped capture feedback from the team. It seems Microsoft removed Website tabs in channels. Now we only have limited options to link channels to websites. This is an unfortunate change because Website tabs were useful to connect channels to sites like surveys and trackers. While we can post web links as messages, it's just not the same experience. The loss of Website tabs makes channel integrations harder.
I know my teams will be frustrated when learning this feature was taken away. I recommend we all provide Microsoft feedback on this change.
Hopefully if enough customers speak up, they could bring Website tabs back.
Hi BarryGoblon,
I can still add a Website to a tab in private (or shared) channel.
There is an issue with this option, sometimes is there, sometimes is not, but when I sign out and sign back in to new Microsoft Teams the option of adding a Website is there.
Where did you found that Microsoft removed the option to Website tabs in channels? Do you have any article or documentation to back this up?
Microsoft is only making changes how the Website tab works in the new Teams client (Starting April 2024), but not completely removing the option of a Website tab in channels.
Upcoming updates to loading websites in Teams tabs (microsoft.com)
