Manage Teams during the transition to the new Microsoft Teams admin center
Important
The Microsoft Teams admin center is gradually replacing the Skype for Business admin center, and we're migrating Teams settings to it from the Microsoft 365 admin center. If a setting has been migrated, you'll see a notification and then be directed to the setting's location in the Teams admin center. For more information, see Manage Teams during the transition to the Teams admin center.
What is the new Microsoft Teams admin center
The new admin center experience will provide you with a unified experience to manage both Teams and Skype for Business. We're delivering additional functionality, end-to-end insights, and the ability to manage Teams settings on a user level.

1 Deprecated for Guest. Enabling/disabling Guest can now be managed in the Microsoft Teams admin center. Enabling/disabling Teams for Business Enterprise, Edu Student, and Edu Faculty will be deprecated soon. This should be managed by assigning licenses in the Microsoft 365 admin center. See Manage user access to Microsoft Teams.
2 Sideloading is split as follows:
- Allow a user to sideload apps which can be managed at a user level in TeamsAppSetupPolicy.
- Allow users in a tenant to interact with custom apps which can be managed at a tenant level in org-wide app settings.
3 Default apps and external apps can be enabled and disabled at the user level in TeamsAppPermissionPolicy. Additionally, apps can be blocked at the tenant level in org-wide app settings which overrides any user and tenant-level settings.
Note
You'll continue to use the Groups dashboard in the Microsoft 365 admin center for configuration related to Teams and channels. Settings for Apps will remain in the Teams area of the Microsoft 365 admin center and will be migrated later.
Manage settings during the migration
You can continue to modify settings in the Microsoft 365 admin center and the Skype for Business admin center until migration for a section is complete for your tenant.

Manage settings after the migration
When the migration of these settings is complete, we'll disable them in the Microsoft 365 admin center and the Skype for Business admin center, and they can then be managed in the new Microsoft Teams admin center.
