Microsoft Teams now supports up to 1,000 channels per team. The update, which was announced on July 19 (MC649926), signifies an increase from the previous limit of 200 regular channels, 200 shared channels, and 30 private channels. Instead, Microsoft Teams now supports any combination of 1,000 regular and shared channels, in addition to 30 private channels. The modification is addressed in Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 127496.
The deployment to Teams preview tenants (targeted release) started at the end of July. Standard release tenants and GCC are expected to receive this update by mid-August. According to Microsoft, this new limit will provide teams with greater flexibility when creating a new channel. However, this could also lead to potential disorganization with the creation of larger numbers of channels.
