We are able to create the announcement post with custom image/banner but with the latest version of teams- 1.6.00.12405 (64-bit), the feature to upload custom image/banner is no longer available.

Any workaround to bring back the feature?

    Morning/afternoon all,

    I've found some more information regarding this feature.

    Teams uses Microsoft designer to generate custom announcement images for channel announcement posts. Microsoft originally published details of the feature in Microsoft 365 roadmap item 123501 and message center notification MC680348 (10 October). They then followed up with MC687791 (6 November 2023), which contained a significant detail in that a Teams Premium license is needed to use Microsoft Designer to generate custom images.

    So, if you add this all together, it's only available in US(currently) and needs Teams Premium even when it becomes more widely available.

    However I can still access it through classic Teams in a web browser, in my case Firefox ... as of Jan 5th 2024

    Can we get an update when this problem will be fixed ? I have 1000+ users impacted by this problem.

    The banner option not showing up for me as well from within Teams. Not seen any pattern as to when exactly the banner option shows up, but I think I tried using Teams from within Edge and it showed up. (I generally use chrome browser) Today I wanted to do an announcement and again it didn't work, not in Teams client, not in Teams in Chrome, not in Teams in Edge browser. But then it showed up on Firefox for me. How bizarre!!!

    Yep, I just tried and Firefox works for me... for now anyway...

    Why would they go and do something as stupid as removing that functionality anyway? Geez.

    Was this resolved? Is there a plan to allow users to add banners to announcements again?
