Teams to Begin Automatically Hiding Inactive Channels

From mid-July 2024, Teams will begin hiding inactive channels for users. The inactive channels can be unhidden, and users can opt out of the automatic process. The new clean up routine can be invoked...

In Settings --> General, there is the option to disable the feature

 

I've disabled it :cool:

Is this in the old Teams client as opposed to new Teams client? I do not see this option available to me. I am using Teams 24215.1007.3082.1590. We are experiencing the issue and thing it rather dumb. We access a file or two daily but yet channels we do no comment in are hidden.
Thanks.

    It is in the Teams Settings in General section, at the bottom:

     

    Microsoft Teams-Version 24215.1007.3082.1590.

      wapster I'm also running  24215.1007.3082.1590 and do not have the option to turn off auto-hiding for channels or teams.      Anyone know if this is controlled via powershell?

       

      Spell Check is the bottom feature.

        I was going into settings today to see that on my side the option is now GONE. Somehow it disappeared overnight.

         

        My client app got updated, now Microsoft Teams-Version 24231.510.3103.7909.

        It seems they removed it again. But why? Users are asking to disable it because the auto-hiding is not really helping them, as it hides channels they are "actively" using.

        It would also help if MS would define what exactly are the triggers to mark a channel as active or inactive.
