Question

I want to move the @mention from the top of my Teams list.

Terrill, Kari 15

A recent update to my Teams added @mention to the top of my Teams list. I do not want it there. Is there a way to move it to the bottom or not have it in the Teams list at all? The chat on the side is notification enough.

Thank,
Kari

Hi @Terrill, Kari,

Good day! Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

I understand your concern regarding the recent update to Microsoft Teams, which added the "@mention" section to the top of your Teams list.

We appreciate that everyone works differently, and we recognize that changes to interface layout can impact your workflow. Currently, there is no option to move the "@mention" section to a different location or hide it entirely from the Teams list. The update was intended to surface direct mentions more visibly, helping users stay on top of important messages.

While customization options for this feature are not yet available, we encourage you to submit feedback directly within Teams through our feedback portal: Microsoft Feedback Hub User's image

Your input really helps shape future updates, and it's reviewed closely by our product team.

In the meantime, we recommend continuing to use the Chat pane as your main notification method. It still reliably reflects @mentions and activity from your teams and can be an effective alternative to relying on the new section.

Please let us know if you need further clarification or assistance. I really appreciate your patience and look forward to assisting you further.

We hope you have a great day!

Loads more helpfully listed by Scott Langham as a comment on the top linked suggestion.
These are clearly filters, they should be hidden if you chose to hide filters. In a perfect world you would be able to customise which filters you wanted shown, but this is MS, so let's not get our hopes up :P
