File storage in Teams. Files that you share in a channel are stored in your team's SharePoint folder. Which can be found in the Files tab at the top of each channel. Files that you share in a private or group chat are stored in your OneDrive for Business folder and are only shared with the people in that conversation.
Channels are public to the team, conversation are privated to their members. Chat history is shown automatically in a channel and optionnally in a conversation. Channels support more apps interactions.
Hi Mac, Greetings, about your first question “Is it possible to merge 2 channels together without losing the threaded data of the other? ”, the answer is no, it is not feasible to merge channels in Microsoft Teams currently.
Think of this as one big group chat. Everyone who has access to the channel can see the messages on the Posts tab. You'll have to judge based on your organization and culture what messages are suitable for the Posts tab in a particular channel.
Hi Sam, You can drag and drop the tabs to display in the order you would like them in.
Planner tasks can now be copied to other plans. To copy a task, click on the “…” menu on the task. From there, you can select a different plan to copy the task to.
In Microsoft Teams, teams are groups of people brought together for work, projects, or common interests. Each channel is built around a topic, like “Team Events,” a department name, or just for fun. Channels are where you hold meetings, have conversations, and work on files together.
