Get-MgTeamChannel

What is Get-MgTeamChannel?

The Get-MgTeamChannel cmdlet in Microsoft Graph PowerShell allows administrators to retrieve details about channels within a Microsoft Teams team. It provides access to properties like channel IDs, display names, descriptions, and more, making it an essential tool for Teams management and reporting.

Why Use Get-MgTeamChannel?

Administrators use this cmdlet to automate channel management and reporting tasks in Microsoft Teams. Instead of manually checking each channel, you can fetch details programmatically, filter results, and integrate them into reports or scripts. This is particularly useful for auditing, compliance, and large-scale Teams administration.

Prerequisites

Before running the cmdlet, install and connect to Microsoft Graph with the required permissions:

Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -Scope CurrentUser
Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "Team.ReadBasic.All"

How to Use Get-MgTeamChannel?

The basic syntax is:

Get-MgTeamChannel -TeamId <String> [-ChannelId <String>] [-Filter <String>] [-Search <String>] [-Select <String[]>]

You can use this cmdlet to fetch all channels, filter by name or type, or retrieve specific properties.
