Hi,

2 errors that appear to be related to a new team/channel being created.

When creating a new team, we can no longer get the email address nor change the picture. 

No issues with previously created teams/channels. 

Confirmed: 

  • Waited for 3 days
  • Error occurs on App and Web versions
  • App is on latest version
  • Error occurs on both Windows and Mac

    Same problem here with team/channel email addresses - I'm not so concerned with changing the picture but definitely getting the email address for the channels on a fairly new (And big) project that I was hoping to get everyone on board using Teams for....

    Thanks for the Tip. Unfortunately it was already private. I switched it to Public and Private several times to test, but didn't work.

    All of my teams are Private.  Just to test, I tried switching one to public and back to private but it made no difference.  No teams created after some date allow me to obtain an email address for any channel or update the team photo.

    I had the same problem but i found out that by changing the teams Privacy settings from Public to Private solved it. I do not know if it will solve the problem for You but it is might worth a try.

    Best regards, Magnus

    Confirming all symptoms referenced by others.  Teams/Channels created in the past all work wrt the email address, but Teams/Channels created recently are broken.  Not sure WHEN things stopped working, but something has definitely changed.  Need some focus on this, as I have automation tied to this functionality!

    thanks,

    greg
