The Get-MgTeamPrimaryChannel
cmdlet is part of the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module and allows administrators to retrieve details of the primary (default) channel for a Microsoft Team. Each Microsoft Team has a primary channel (usually called "General") created automatically when the team is established. This cmdlet helps retrieve information about that specific channel, which is useful for administrators managing Microsoft Teams within an organization.
Get-MgTeamPrimaryChannel -TeamId <String>
The -TeamId parameter is required to specify the unique identifier of the team from which to retrieve the primary channel.
This command retrieves details of the primary channel for the team with the provided TeamId
, including the channel's ID, name (usually "General"), and other properties.
# Get the primary channel of a specific team by TeamId
$teamId = "e1a7e230-34f7-42c6-9d7c-d3d1b7a9af78"
Get-MgTeamPrimaryChannel -TeamId $teamId
This script checks if the primary channel has a specific description and outputs the display name and description if it matches.
# Retrieve and filter primary channel data based on specific criteria (e.g., channels with a specific description)
$teamId = "e1a7e230-34f7-42c6-9d7c-d3d1b7a9af78"
$channel = Get-MgTeamPrimaryChannel -TeamId $teamId
# Filter for channels with a specific description
if ($channel.description -eq "Welcome to the primary channel") {
$channel | Select-Object DisplayName, Description
