Introduction
Microsoft has recently restructured how administrators can
modify Teams URLs. Previously managed through the SharePoint admin center, this
function has now transitioned to the Teams & Groups section within the
Microsoft 365 admin center. This change aims to streamline administrative tasks
and provide a more integrated user experience.
Background
The SharePoint admin center traditionally housed various
features for managing team sites and associated URLs. However, as Microsoft's
suite of tools has evolved, the need for a more cohesive approach to
administrative functions became apparent. This led to the migration of Teams
URL management to the Microsoft 365 admin center under the Teams & Groups
section.
Steps to Modify Teams URL in Microsoft 365 Admin Center
To ensure a smooth transition and ease of use, follow these
detailed steps to modify Teams URLs within the new location:
Accessing the Microsoft 365 Admin Center
· Navigate to the Microsoft 365 admin center and logging in with your administrator credentials. Once logged in, you will see a navigation panel on the left-hand side of the screen.
Locating Teams & Groups
· In the navigation panel, scroll down and select the "Teams & groups" option. Select "Active teams & groups".
Modifying the Teams URL
· Find the specific team whose URL you wish to modify from the list of available teams. Click on the Name of the Team to open its settings and details.
·
Locate the Site address.
Click the "Edit" button down to it.
·
Enter the desired new SharePoint site address and confirm the
changes by clicking "Save".
Verification
·
After saving the changes, ensure that the new
URL is functional by accessing the team through the updated link.
·
If any issues arise, verify the changes in the
admin center and consult Microsoft support if necessary.
Conclusion
The relocation of Teams URL modification to the Teams &
Groups section of the Microsoft 365 admin center represents a strategic move
towards a more unified administrative environment. By following the outlined
steps, administrators can efficiently manage Teams URLs and ensure seamless
access for their organization.
