Teams - adding tabs in a channel

Microsoft Teams gives you great flexibility in displaying "tabs" in any channel within a Team so you can make favourite apps and files into tabs at the top of the channel.


Each Team starts with a conversation and files tab, hitting the "+" allows you to add more:


What could you add?

  • Documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF) you have previously uploaded 
  • A YouTube video
  • A Microsoft Form - so a quiz could be displayed and completed directly in Teams
  • Planning area
  • Microsoft Stream video (or a whole channel of videos - I embed my ICT tip videos)
  • A Wiki (for collaborative meeting notes)
  • Any website - if your group or class use a website frequently (like the start page for Kahoot for example) you can have that site appear in a tab, reducing the time it takes to get students there.
  • A OneNote notebook - even if the Team already has a notebook associated with it you can add another if needed.
