Can Channel owners be changed?
I can't find a way to make another user an owner of an already created channel. What happens to a channel when their owner leaves the organization? Even if it continues working it looks pretty lame ...
You are correct we do not have a way to change the channel owner. We display the person that created the channel originally.
For group channels any of the contributors to the group can change channel settings/add/delete them.
But for companywide channels only the person who created the channel and the Stream Admins can change infoabout or delete the channel.
This isn't ideal, I agree with you.
Could you add your ideas about what we should do with channel onwners/creators to the Stream Ideas forum so others can vote/comment on them?

I can see this question was asked quite some time ago (back in 2017).
May I please request an update, will this feature be added to the change roadmap for 2019?
Is the ability to change the owner available now via PowerShell?
Thank you for your time.

I agree with Tyler_OConnell about a status update, particularly that it seemed to have some immediate attention. Any news, Marc Mroz?
Bill BlaisI had contact with our Premier Support Engineer @Microsoft. They say still not available...
Stephan Jola Thanks for the update. I assume there was not even a vague ETA / priority in their response, right?
