ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pages
We don't want Teams turned on in our tenant. I had it physically turned off on each users license - now it on everywhere.
Why does MS insist on doing this. Teams are preveived as social and that word is taboo in our company. How do I turn this off tenant wide without having to touch every users and edit their license?
Give us new stuff - yes. But let us decide when to turn it on in our tenant.
- Hi Guy, do you mean Microsoft Teams? If so, I'd hop off of this thread and sneak the feedback into the MS Teams community site: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Teams/ct-p/MicrosoftTeams - where the direct team can hear your feedback. Thx, Mark. I'll certainly pass it along as we meet often as a v-team across the broader Groups effort...
Sorry Mark - guess I'm in the wrong place. Saw Teams and....
Completely agree with Guy. In our situation as an educational institution it gets silly in the way that Teams is not available to Educational institutions yet, but the licenses were still enabled for us. So now our users see the link in the menu, but when they click it it tells them that they should contact their administrator, to have Teams enabled... which we obviously can't! Our plan is to wait and see how many actually see this and if it doesn't become a huge problem, we will wait until Azure AD administration using the new Azure portal goes GA and just use the new method of assigning licenses to groups of people, instead of having to individually assign or unassigned via PowerShell...
The tenant-wide on/off switch is still there. You can flip it back to off.
(would be nice if the App Launcher icon also got disabled when we did that, thought the Store and Sway icons also appear if they are disabled. So, yeah, Microsoft...)
Where is that tenant wide On/Off switch. I may be blind but I sure can't seem to find it.
- Go to Configuration -> Services & Add-Ins -> Microsoft Teams and just switch it Off
