Team owners and team members |
✔ |
Only for Microsoft 365 Groups that are migrated / matched. Teams and groups with dynamic membership can be migrated but cannot be merged.
The memberships is not updated in Teams immediately after membership migration. It takes a while before Microsoft synchronizes memberships between groups and Teams. Workaround: Wait for membership synchronization. |
Archived team |

If you need to migrate these teams, you must unarchive them in the source to migrate and then archive them again in the source and in the target. |

The target tenant's temporary Migration Manager account is displayed as the owner of all migrated messages on the target: The original owner and creation time of a message are displayed in the first line of the message starting with "Originally posted by...".
Individual messages larger than 4 MB will not migrate. Messages containing several inline messages can exceed 4MB. The chat will migrate without the large messages. An error will display in the On Demand Migration for Teams Events tab of the form: Request failed with RequestEntityTooLarge status code (Request Entity Too Large). |

Chats |
✔ |
Images, media files and documents referenced in one-on-one or group chats are stored in your OneDrive for Business folder. They must be migrated using the On Demand Migration for OneDrive service, before you migrate the chats. File links in team chats will not work after chat migration if the files are moved to another folder in the source tenant.
Files that are linked to the private chats and meetings are migrated but do no display in the Files tab of private chats and meetings.
Private one-to-one chats with a Skype user are not migrated. The Microsoft Graph API List chat messages do not support querying messages of that type.
Private one to one chats are migrated as group chats. All the messages in the migrated chats are posted by the temporary Migration Manager.
On the source tenant a member removed from a chat can still see the history of the chat in the source. On the target, members cannot see the history of chats they have been removed from.
Users deleted on the tenant are not migrated, so do not show as members of a chat on the target. Deleted users do remain visible as members of a chat on the source. 1:1 chats, where one of the users is deleted, are migrated for the user that is still a member of the tenant.
Private one-to-one chats with an ‘External user’ (user from another tenant) are treated as follows. Private one-to-one chats initiated by an ‘External user’ are not migrated. Private one-to-one chats not initiated by an ‘External user’ are migrated, and in the title the external user’s real name is replaced with the text ‘External user’. |
Applications |
partial |
Only Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and List tab applications linked to files in the same channel are supported. If you rename a tab in the source team and then re-migrate, the renamed tab will be migrated. The target will then have two tabs, one with the old name and one with the new name. |
OneNote |
partial |
When the team name in source tenant is different from the one in target tenant, a blank default team’s notebook (with the target team name) will be created in target tenant. The original default team’s notebook (with the source team name) will be migrated correctly by Team’s migration. This results in two default team’s notebook in target.
OneNote tabs migration fails if the team contains a large number of items (folders or files, some of which could be OneNote entities such as notebooks, sections or section groups) and the following error message is reported: Request failed with Forbidden status code (Forbidden). { "error": { "code": "10026", "message": "One or more of the document libraries on the user or group’s OneDrive contains more than 20,000 OneNote items (notebooks, sections, section groups). Please try again later."....Workaround: Before proceeding with migration consider the following Microsoft recommendations to avoid the problem: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/onenotedev/onenote-api-calls-fail-with-a-large-number-of-items-in-a-sharepoint-document-library |
Lists |
partial |
Lists must be created in the same SharePoint site used by the team or Private Channel. You must select the Standard and Customized (All SharePoint Content) option in the Migration Options step of the New Teams Migration Task to allow the migration of Lists and their content.

Meeting recordings |
partial |
Recordings of scheduled meetings in a team channel, stored in SharePoint or OneDrive, are migrated.
- Meeting recordings stored in Microsoft Stream (Classic) are not migrated; the link to the recording on the source team channel is retained.
- On Demand does not support meeting recordings in a group chat. Recordings in group chats and one-to-one chats cannot be migrated with the On Demand Migration for Teams service. Since the recording file is stored in the chat organizer's OneDrive account, you can use the On Demand Migration for OneDrive service to migrate recordings.
- On Demand does not support meeting recordings for "Meet now" meetings.
