How To: Leave a Team or Group Chat in Teams

Learn how to leave a team or group chat in Microsoft Teams that you no longer need, or hide it so it stays out of your way.

Leave a team

1

Find the team

In Teams, select Teams on the left.

2

Open the menu

Point to the team name and select More options (…).

3

Leave

Select Leave team, then confirm.

  • Don't see Leave team? Class teams and some organization-wide teams can't be left. Hide the team instead.
  • If you're the only owner, add another owner before you leave so the team isn't left without one.

Leave a group chat

1

Open the chat

Select Chat and find the group chat.

2

Leave

Point to the chat, select More options (…), then select Leave.

One-on-one chats can't be left, but you can hide or mute them.

Or just hide it

Select More options (…) > Hide on a team or chat. It stays out of your list, but you don't lose access. A hidden chat comes back if someone posts in it.
