Microsoft Teams: Quick access to read items from unread-only view

Originally posted by Microsoft Apr 1, 2026 Uncategorized 0 Comments

Teams chat and channel lists can be filtered to show unread items only. When this filter is applied, hovering over a section reveals an eye icon next to the section name. Selecting the eye icon opens a list of read chats or channels within that section, allowing you to open them without leaving the unread-only view.
