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 whenever users want and if a mistake is made, it’s easy to unhide a channel. Given the number of channels in use, it’s likely that a few in everyone’s channel list are inactive and deserve to be hidden.

Hi,
I believe this is a very usefull feature. But today I've heard from at least 4 colleagues that a lot of recent Teams and channels where automatically hidden.
Anyone else encountering the same? Or is there an explanation?
Thx. 🙂
Best Regards,
Carlo

I hate this. Why do apps have to be "smarter" than the user. How do I turn this auto hide crap off?

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.

I find this 'feature' incredibly annoying, I have a lot of Channels, which I dip in and out of, I am more than capable of hiding Channels I am not using any more.
Hence why not put back in the option that allows a user to choose how they want Teams to behave for them?

It has come back from the dead!
With Microsoft Teams-Version 24243.1307.3125.3317 the toggle is available again:
