Microsoft Teams: Improved organization for muted and meeting chats
Microsoft Teams is reorganizing the chat interface with automatic sections for muted and meeting chats to reduce clutter. The feature was rolled back as of July 20, 2026, so no immediate admin action is required. When re-released, users will see muted chats grouped by default and can optionally enable meeting chats sections.

Microsoft's description
Microsoft Teams automatically organizes your chats with new built in sections that help reduce clutter and keep conversations easy to find. Muted chats (on by default) are grouped together in a dedicated area, while meeting chats (off by default) can be collected into a single section for quick access. You’re always in control, as each section can be turned on or off based on your preferences. The new Meeting chats section will replace the Meeting chats filter, that was previously available at the top of the chat and channel list. Updated July 20, 2026: We have temporarily rolled back this feature. We apologize for any inconvenience.
