Question

Hi there
How and where can a Teams admin search for a channel name at admin.teams.microsoft.com or is there any other way?
(I am able to search/browse for Team names, but do not know where to search for channel names)
Thanks.

Hi @frob

1) You can use MS Teams Admin Center:

a) Go to https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/teams/manage

b) Find the team name and click on it.

c) Click the Channels tab to see the channels (public/private)

2) Try the following PowerShell Script (from https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams/get-all-teams-and-channel-information-using-powershell/m-p/1312145):

$AllTeamsInOrg = (Get-Team).GroupID  
$TeamList = @()  
  
Write-Output "This may take a little bit of time... Please sit back, relax and enjoy some GIFs inside of Teams!"  
Write-Host ""  
  
Foreach ($Team in $AllTeamsInOrg)  
{         
        $TeamGUID = $Team.ToString()  
        $TeamGroup = Get-UnifiedGroup -identity $Team.ToString()  
        $TeamName = (Get-Team | ?{$_.GroupID -eq $Team}).DisplayName  
        $TeamOwner = (Get-TeamUser -GroupId $Team | ?{$_.Role -eq 'Owner'}).User  
        $TeamUserCount = ((Get-TeamUser -GroupId $Team).UserID).Count  
        $TeamGuest = (Get-UnifiedGroupLinks -LinkType Members -identity $Team | ?{$_.Name -match "#EXT#"}).Name  
            if ($TeamGuest -eq $null)  
            {  
                $TeamGuest = "No Guests in Team"  
            }  
        $TeamChannels = (Get-TeamChannel -GroupId $Team).DisplayName  
	$ChannelCount = (Get-TeamChannel -GroupId $Team).ID.Count  
        $TeamList = $TeamList + [PSCustomObject]@{TeamName = $TeamName; TeamObjectID = $TeamGUID; TeamOwners = $TeamOwner -join ', '; TeamMemberCount = $TeamUserCount; NoOfChannels = $ChannelCount; ChannelNames = $TeamChannels -join ', '; SharePointSite = $TeamGroup.SharePointSiteURL; AccessType = $TeamGroup.AccessType; TeamGuests = $TeamGuest -join ','}  
}  
  
#######  
  
$TestPath = test-path -path 'c:\temp'  
if ($TestPath -ne $true) {New-Item -ItemType directory -Path 'c:\temp' | Out-Null  
    write-Host  'Creating directory to write file to c:\temp. Your file is uploaded as TeamsDatav2.csv'}  
else {Write-Host "Your file has been uploaded to c:\temp as 'TeamsDatav2.csv'"}  
$TeamList | export-csv c:\temp\TeamsDatav2.csv -NoTypeInformation  

You will need to ensure that you have ExchangeOnline and MicrosoftTeams modules installed/imported.
