Can I make a channel in a team Mandatory.

[Daelos]

Is there a way for an admin to make channel mandatory? We would like one channel in a Team that can be set, either by the admin or team owner that cannot be hidden or blocked or removed by the user? We basically want to override any user settings for this team/channel combo so that there are no excuses for missing critical notifications. . This is for MS365 Business if that makes a difference.

Hi, the General channel is the only channel that cannot be removed or hidden.  You could use this for this purpose and create separate channels where the users have more control.

@PeterRising Yeah we have been using that as a workaround but we also need a way to prevent people from hiding that Team or or removing themselves as members too.
