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?

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.
This is great news! One question, is the banner size still going to be HUGE 2" in height and take up half the screen or will be going back to the smaller 1" height?
I too keep flicking on new Teams to see whether it holds up and so far it doesn't.
We have decided to defer moving our org to the new Teams, as initially it doesn't offer the functionality we currently have.
I understand they are making great strides to catch up and its getting there.. but its still well annoying.
I am a HUGE teams advocate, I have pushed and sold 'Teams' to our whole org... but at the moment new Teams its not doing what it needs to do .
I'm with you Caroline, I use the announcements to grab the teams attention, it really helps it to stand out amongst the myriad of messages we pass between eachothe,r every day.
Like you I thought it was just because I was using early access, but it doesn't seem to be available at all now.
I still use it, by not using new Teams and also removing my public preview check.
Perhaps someone at MS will know what they are doing, or have the courtesy to respond :)
I was able to also use Firefox to add an announcement banner! A crazy loophole.. but glad it is working for now... @microsoft!! Please address soon! :(
I can get an announcements banner in all the browsers (edge, chrome, firefox). The issue is that it's HUGE. Literally 2.5" tall. It takes up SO much real estate. We can also no longer customize this banner. I created 2 announcement samples. Below is the view of a large monitor and a laptop. The banner size is ridiculously large. As per someones request above, when I tried Firefox it looked smaller and more normal size but when I viewed it on a different browser and in Teams client, it was still 2.5 inches tall. Our organization relies on Teams and could benefit from using announcements but will wait until they're more reasonable size.
