New Microsoft Teams to be Private by default from 11 May

Last updated: Fri May 1 12:07

To improve security, consistency and data protection across UofG Microsoft 365 systems, all newly created Microsoft Teams will be restricted to Private visibility only from Monday 11 May 2026. 

Private Teams are visible only to Team members and owners, while a Public Team is visible to the whole organisation, staff and students alike. 

You will be able to add members, including external guests as required. If you need to change a Team from Private to Public, you will be able to request a change through UofG Helpdesk. 


Microsoft Teams: Private channels with no owners

Last updated: Thu May 7 16:12

Due to an upcoming change enforced by Microsoft, any existing private Teams channels with no owners will automatically be deleted from the start of next month. 

We have contacted Teams with private channels that have members but no owners. These channels will be deleted if an owner is not added by the end of May.

All other impacted channels have no participants at all and these will be deleted automatically at the start of June.
