Microsoft's migration of Teams private channel data to a new storage model has stalled for some organizations, and affected private channels will be permanently deleted if IT administrators do not act by the end of July 2026. There is no warning within Teams or Microsoft Purview alerting organizations to the problem. Organizations that use Teams private channels should review their migration status now and update their eDiscovery, legal hold, and retention policies to account for the new storage model.
