💡Tip: Customize Your Channel List

If you frequently visit a channel, you can make it easier to find by unhiding it in Teams. Simply expand the Hidden channels section, locate the channel you want to display, and use the channel's More options (...) menu to select the available option to show or unhide it. The exact wording may vary depending on your Teams version.
