in Personalize your plans with smart backgrounds on Oct 14 2021 06:33 AM
As many others here have mentioned, could you implement an option to upload a custom background? None of the backgrounds "smartly" selected for my planner match its purpose or content.

in Tasks in Microsoft Teams is now generally available! on Oct 13 2021 09:46 AM
@Jeffrey Allen thanks for posting, I came here with the same thoughts. It seems like development of Planner/Tasks/To Do has really stalled. There have only been a couple of features in the last 8-12 months.

I would like to see more flexible labels, similar to categories in Outlook, so that you can choose both colour and name. When viewing tasks by label I don't want to see empty columns for all the labels I am not using and have to scroll across to the right to see the brighter colours that I am using.

I am having the same issue as @charles_edwards. I have ensured that none of the Teams with associated Plans are hidden. Although it shouldn't matter, I also ensured that I am the owner of the particular Team that is not showing up.
