Bring Loop components to Teams Channel Posts for smaller subgroup activities rather than having to involve other Apps / Tabs.
Having Loop as Peer(s) to Peer(s) outside of Teams Channels is sometimes cumbersome. It would also keep the content in the Team in case of staff Exits.
- We have heard your feedback and are very eager to bring Loop components to Teams channels! That said, the channels architecture and permissions model brings some unique considerations that will take us some time to work through. If you have specific feedback or ideas around how you would like/expect components in channels to work, please share!
Would like it to operate in same similar fashion to how it does for the Peer to Peer in Chats/Posts now. However, rather than storing the content in individual user OneDrive, keep the Content in the Teams (SP Folder) like the current Channels operate. This way as Staff Exit or come on-board, the permissions will be managed via the Loop Members or via the SP Permissions. Compliance and Security would be driven by SP. New Members could be added to the Loop. Sort of like the way Subsites worked in SP before Modernization.
- I expect components in channels would work the same way they do in Teams Chat. But in channels, they should be stored in a folder in the channel so the whole team can access them and contribute.
- I agree! This would be very useful. Right now, to make loop effective to use I have to use a chat or create a chat with the same group of people that I already have in a team. I think that Loop Components make more sense in a channel as well since that is where I expect more collaboration to take place. I would also expect that if they were created in a Channel that they would save to the folder on SharePoint versus OneDrive which would support a pathway for inherited permissions.
🤞 I hope this makes sense to the Developers too!
Although I must admit, having so many ways of working with different Apps, add-ins, widgets and throwing permissions into the mix, makes it difficult manage and troubleshoot.
