This article is about how to automatically set the option "Don't Show Team Email Address in Outlook" to true when creating a team via Teams Manager. This is a common request among users who desire to keep their team emails private and not visible in the global address book.
A user wishes to automatically set the option "Don't Show Team Email Address in Outlook" to true when creating a new team in Teams Manager. They want to ensure that all their private teams, created through Teams Manager, do not show up in the global address book.
Currently, Teams Manager does not have this feature in its settings. However, this is a recognized need, and our developers are waiting for Microsoft’s permission to implement this feature. Once permission is granted, users will be able to automatically set the desired option while creating a team.
Q: When will the "Don't Show Team Email Address in Outlook" feature be available in Teams Manager?
The timeline for the availability of this feature is dependent upon receiving permission from Microsoft. We will notify our users as soon as it becomes available.
Q: What will happen to my existing teams' visibility in the global address book?
Existing teams' visibility settings won't be affected by this change, only the teams created after the feature is implemented will be affected.
