How to Customize Channel Tabs in Microsoft Teams

Posted by Jon Hood  /  November 13, 2020  /  Microsoft Teams , 5 Minute Teams Friday   —   4 Comments ↓

How to Customize Channel Tabs in Microsoft Teams

I’m always  going on and on  about how  cool I think  Microsoft Teams is .  All the stuff I need is in one place !  For me, Teams provides little windowpanes that I can look through to navigate my projects and use Office 365 tools efficiently ! In today's '5 Minute Teams Friday', I wanted to share how customizing channel tabs in Microsoft Teams allows me to accomplish more than you’d expect!

Quick  Teams  Review:

Classroom

What’s a Channel?

Channels are dedicated sections or containers within a team. The idea is to keep conversations organized by specific topics, projects, disciplines—whatever works for your team!  Channels can be set to be open for conversations that everyone can participate in or, if you need to lock things down a little, they can be private. They  promote cross-functional teams and break down  potential silos within your organization !

In my opinion, Teams is pretty awesome right out of the box—when you create a  t eam,  you’re provisioned a default  c hannel  (called General) that contains default  t abs  (called Posts, Files, and Wiki).

What’s a Tab?

Tabs are basically Teams-aware webpages that are embedded in Microsoft Teams as simple iframes. This means you can get extra fancy and efficient by creating your own once you understand a little more about  what’s going on behind the scenes. Simply put, t abs allow members of the team to access services and content in a dedicated space within a channel or in a chat.  They all have different functions— from displaying your Office 365 documents, to website applications, and even Power BI reports integrated with other external tools. You don’t have to exit Microsoft Teams to work with the tool—you can do it within the application!

hbspt.cta._relativeUrls=true;hbspt.cta.load(469656, '8b16b176-f93d-457c-80b2-d471ff3435b6', {"useNewLoader":"true","region":"na1"});

It’s all about context..

In addition to the built-in tabs, you can design and add custom tabs. Owners and team members can add tabs to a channel, private chat, and group chat to  let the team work directly with tools and data while having conversations within the context of the channel or chat!   Tabs can be added and customized to help users easily access and manage the data they access the most. This could be something like a simple link to the employee handbook, a dashboard for Power BI reporting, or even a Microsoft Stream video channel where you publish relevant content for your team.

Conversations taking place within tabs will get rolled up into the main  Posts tab for the team.

Posts Tab within Microsoft Teams

The  Files  tab connects to your organization’s SharePoint and allows you to easily share relevant files for the channel .  This is the document repository for the team .

File Tab within Microsoft Teams

There’s also a  Wiki  tab which allows you to add organized notes. You can chat about specific  sections  by  mousing over  the  entry and clicking the  chat icon .

Wiki Tabs within Microsoft Teams

Even though  Wiki  tab is created by default,  but  you can easily  Rename  or  Remove  it:

Renaming the Wiki Tab in Microsoft Teams

You can’t, however , delete  the  Posts  or  F iles   tabs .

Owners and team members can add more tabs to a channel or chat by clicking Add a tab at the top of the channel or chat.

Adding a new Tab in Microsoft Teams

My personal favorites include OneNote, Excel, and the Website shortcut tabs.  I even made a tab that goes directly to a streaming  lo-fi   beats music  channel  on   YouTube !  I mean, why not?  Tabs can connect to pretty much any service, somehow  (at least by  using a URL).  You  can add multiple tabs of the same  type , but the names of the tabs must  be different.  For example,  I’ve created tabs that take me to document libraries  for completely different projects.

Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and PDF files must be uploaded to the Files tab before they can be converted to tabs. Any existing uploaded file can be converted to a tab  by clicking  the  Mo re   actions  button and choosing make this a tab .  In fact,  I’ve done that  with  this blog  and am  editing right inside a custom tab.  Super easy access!

Using the More Actions feature in Microsoft Teams

To add a website, the URL must start with an  https ://  prefix so information that's exchanged remains secure.

Check out my short video  on how easy it is to customize tabs.  I  encourage you to give it a try  see how you can make   the most of Teams!

How to Post Assignments to Specific Channels in Teams

How to Post Assignments to Specific Channels in Teams

Keeping your students organized and on top of their work can get a little chaotic – especially when there is a mix of digital and paper assignments. When working within Microsoft Teams , the General Channel is the default for posting any assignments and updates to students. This leads to a messy Channel if you are posting often. However, we can help you to stay more organized and fix this up – try to post assignments to specific channels instead.

If you have assignments for specific units or groups of students, you can now post these notifications on that specific channel. Unfortunately, Teams doesn’t allow you to do this for private channels, so make sure they are open! If you do have an assignment that is only for a few specific students, you will have to assign the work to them separately. We go through how to post assignments to specific channels and students below. If you are ready to get your Teams organized, start reading!

Assign to a Specific Channel

To start to post assignments to specific channels, go into your Assignments tab in Microsoft Teams and create a new assignment. Fill out all of the assignment details that you want to add. At the bottom of the page, you will notice a line that reads “ Post Assignment Notifications to this Channel: General .” Next to it, click on the Edit button.

create & post assignments to specific channels in teams

You will see the different channel options that you can choose. Choose which channel you will want the assignment notifications to go to, and click done . Then, don’t forget to click Assign to send the assignment to your students. You can go into the channel you chose and see the assignment notification there.

Don’t see all your channels when editing where to post the assignment notifications? Note that you are unable to choose private channels. For a workaround here, you can instead assign work to specific students.

Assign to Specific Students

Many teachers create private channels for students to do group work or to easily separate students and give them different versions of the same assignments. When assigning work, it would be nice to also post the assignment notifications to that channel, but unfortunately, Teams doesn’t allow you to do this in private channels. Instead, we will have to manually choose and assign the work to these groups of students.

To begin, we will create a new assignment from the Assignments tab in your Team. Once all the details are added in, you can choose which Team and which students to assign this to. Instead of choosing All Students , you can pick and choose which students will receive this assignment. You can go through your class list and choose the students. You will notice that you are not able to edit where the notifications are posted after you have done this.

Once the work has been assigned, students will receive a notification on their end that they must complete the work. Unfortunately, they won’t receive a notification in any of their channels, but they will know they still must do the assignment.

select specific students to post assignments in teams

There are many different ways to use Teams and make it easier for you and your students to stay on top of their work. Hopefully, to post assignments to specific channels and to specific students are 2 ways that you can implement them in your routine. For other Teams Tips & Tricks, check out the articles below:

I can't create assignment in TEAMS

add assignments tab to teams

And then when I clicked, this is what it shows up: 

add assignments tab to teams

Can anyone help to figure out why I can't see that? I just want to create different assignments/quizzes for the students instead of posting in a channel so I can keep track of the assignments in a more organize and efficient way.

Hi Gustavo Samudio,

Thank you for the posting in our forum community. We apologize for some inconvenience. We will be very glad to help you here.

According to your mentioned screenshot and description, can we re-confirm from your side that whether you have opened Teams tab or Chat tab to finding Assignments / Quiz tab?

Our understanding is that you have opened Chat tab and clicked on (+) symbol to find Assignments/ Quiz tab.

add assignments tab to teams

If yes, in this give situation, we would like to share the information with you that generally the assignment tab cannot add into Teams tab or Chat tab . Because, Assignments tab is a default tab under Class team > General channel option for Microsoft Teams for Education . Class team option is associated with Microsoft Office 365 for Education subscription license . 

Here is the detailed information article for your reference: Create a class team in Microsoft Teams

For your example reference:

add assignments tab to teams

Meanwhile, we would like to collect and confirm below information from your side so that we can further guide you accordingly.

Could you please provide us the information about “which Office 365 subscription product license do you have via private message?

For knowing this details > Login to Office 365 portal > click on Profile symbol at the top of the right side > click on My account option > click on Subscriptions option, capture whole page screenshot and provide us here.

Kindly provide us above mentioned details in this private message link https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/privatemessage/inbox . We will send you private message for your privacy.

Great! Thanks for your feedback.

How satisfied are you with this reply?

Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.

Thanks for your feedback.

I was actually in the TEAMS tab on the left. I wasn't in the chat room. I have checked all the websites about creating assignments, but the main issue is that they actually don't show up.

GustavoS. 

Thank you for your update. We are truly appreciating your reply in the forum community.

Regarding this case, can we re-confirm that whether your created team is class team or any other team in the Microsoft Teams?

Because, generally Assignments tab is available in Class teams . So, if you have not created class teams, at once we suggest you that kindly create one class team, try to identify that if you can see assignments tab. Here is the detailed steps article about: Create a class team in Microsoft Teams

If you cannot see the assignments tab in that created class, kindly provide us the detailed steps and full screenshot about that created class team so that we can do further analysis from our side and provide you further information.

Also, whether you can see Class team option under Create a team option in the Microsoft Teams?

We are truly appreciating your cooperation in our forum community.
