Having rushed into setting things up on Teams due to COVID-19, we now find that we would like to rearrange our teams and use channels more. Is there an easy way to move content (posts and files) from one team to another, please?
Many thanks

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
To be honest, stopgap is quite useless because this method disrupts the very workflow TEAMS should offer.
Teams is basically a shell over Sharepoint, with chat added to sunset Skype.
As such, Teams seems like the lowest priority for MSFT and it shows: 3 years and still cannot move chat from Channel A to Channel B, which by IT standard is a low ask.
This is making some companies rethink the usage of this tool and why shouldn't they? If any company gives up on a publicly offered piece of software, it loses their client's faith.
I mean Windows 95 -> Windows 98 was a 3 year (seemingly) gap but there were updates aplenty to Win95 during that time. Clearly a priority was placed because it was a OS for the public while Teams is an afterthought of an application.
This is terrible! Please include this feature ASAP. Shameful that its not available. So basic, I'm still astonished. Real Teams PM blunder. Thanks alot guys!
My colleagues and I came to Teams whilst battling the Covid-19 pandemic. Training in its use was either non-existent or minimal at best. As a result our system is cluttered with Teams and Channels many of which hold useful posts which need to be moved to more streamlined Teams and Channels. Ideally I am looking to move the whole post history from one channel to a newly created channel in an entirely differet Team. But how???? I cannot for the life of me find a solution to this. Its a mess and simply puts off colleagues using Teams and resort to going back to email for conversations ....arrggghhh!! Can anyone come to my rescue!?
Very large company here.
It is quite incredible that in 2023 we cant still move a discussion from one channel to another.
Please wake up MS Devs !! Are you only using Teams @ Microsoft to not realize that this is an extremely annoying lack of feature that should get implemented ASAP ??
You need to order and organize your channels when you have large groups of people because you can't assume that all of them will properly post the proper information in the proper channel. And then everything becomes a complete mess because we don't have basic moderation tools !
I mean this is a FACT since the first forums in the 90ies and you still don't realize it ??
