Organization wide teams & visibility - is it possible to put it in the top of the list of all Teams?

We have created a Organization Team - but is it possible to sort the different teams in a way so that the Organization team will always(!) be at the top in the client? A lot of our users are members of 10+ different Teams and we do not want the org-wide Team do drown in the list, but rather having it on the top.

  • A better option, to achieve the same thing, is to activate Microsoft Viva Connection Håvard Kristiansen

    By activating Viva Connection you'll add the company logo as an app in Teams, and Viva Connection is intranet (aka Modern SharePoint site) merged with Teams. And, on the SharePoint site which is the intranet, you can add adaptive cards, which then are linked to relevant channels in the company Teams. 

     

    Check it out here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-viva/connections

  • Nope, unfortunately not. However, your best course of action is make sure you are utilizing proper @team mentions. This will make sure they see the content via Alert/ Activity feeds.
  • Users can pin a channel from that Team to keep it in the top of the list, but only that channel not the whole Team. There is a uservoice request for something similar to what you are asking for:

    The order of the Teams are up the each user to decide themselves so they can move them up or down and change the order with "drag and drop". The order will be kept as long as the Team is active and not moved down to inactive Teams.
