Microsoft Teams: Improved organization for muted and meeting chats
Microsoft Teams is reorganizing chat layout with automatic sections for muted chats and meeting chats to reduce clutter. The feature was rolled back as of July 20, 2026, so no immediate action is required from admins, though users should be aware the organization structure will change once redeployed.

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.
