Get properties of a channel using Microsoft graph

Request: Get channels

Description: View all the properties of channels configured by your organization in MS Teams.

Why graph API is not a good option

• Incomprehensible results: The response returned by the Graph Explorer will be in JSON format which is difficult to comprehend.
• Difficulty in handling bulk results: When the result spans multiple pages, the graph explorer returns links to those pages instead of displaying all the records.
• Non-user friendly: Users need a third-party tool to view the response of the graph explorer in graphical or tabular format.
• Need of expertise: In-depth coding knowledge is required to customize the requests for specific needs.

Get MS Teams reports using M365 Manager Plus

M365 Manager Plus provides more than 700 pre-defined reports on Exchange Online, Azure AD, MS Teams, Yammer, and other Microsoft 365 services which are way easier to generate and customize than the results returned by the graph explorer.

It has a dedicated set of reports to know all about MS Teams in your organization. And the best part is, you need not write even a single line of code. All the required details are presented to you in a detailed tabular format accompanied with a graphical view of the report.

Highlights of M365 Manager Plus:

• Advanced filters: Use attribute and condition-based filters to get the data you need, without lengthy PowerShell scripts.

• Customizable dashboard: M365 Manager Plus' dashboard is customizable. Generate graphical reports to get a quick peek at the mail traffic summary, top email senders and receivers, client device usage, and more. This dashboard can be embedded in any of your web pages to enable constant monitoring.
• Report scheduler: Schedule report generation at regular intervals to reduce the overhead.
• Report export: The reports can be exported to PDF, XLSX, HTML, or CSV formats and redistributed via emails to the administrators.
• Secure delegation: Securely delegate report generation to technicians and IT staff without giving them full access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
