Hi!

A Microsoft team channel has been inexplicably archived. We cannot contact the owner of the channel since none of us are owners and we need the team back ASAP! How can we restore the channel as non-owners? I know Microsoft could do something on their end, but I can't get ahold of anyone on the phone or online to speak with personally.

    Hi, I'm Diane and will be happy to help you today.

    Are you the teams administrator?

    The Teams administrator needs to assign a new owner (or two) to the team so it can be recovered.

    If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
