How do I change the URL of a Private Teams channel site?

Question

Hello

Please i need your help on this issue.

How do I change the URL of a Private Teams channel site?

I wish to change the URL of a private channel site. I cannot see any way of doing this.

I want to match parent site address.

Moreover, when I create a new private channel, it uses the old site address even though the site address is set to codexxx-ak.

Hi @IniobongNkanga-8038
Currently, Microsoft Teams does not support changing the URL of a private channel website directly through the user interface.

As at least a SharePoint Administrator in your organization, you can change the URL for the following types of SharePoint sites (previously called "site collections"):

• Microsoft 365 group-connected team sites
• Modern team sites that don't belong to a Microsoft 365 group
• Communication sites
• Classic team sites

Changing the site address isn't supported in the following situations:

• The Publishing feature is currently activated or was previously activated for the site.
• The site contains more than 15 million documents.

You can change only the address of the site within the URL, for example:

https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/*project-x* to https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/*project-y*

You can't move the site from "/sites" to "/teams." For info about changing your SharePoint domain name, see Change your SharePoint domain name.

Also, you can change site addresses by using Microsoft PowerShell, please refer to this reference.
