About team discussions

In this article

Your team can plan together, update one another, or talk about any topic you'd like in discussion posts on your team's page in an organization.

Note: Team Discussions will be deprecated on May 8, 2023 in favor of GitHub Discussions. You can transfer your existing team discussions to a repository's discussions by using a migration tool that allows team admins to migrate both public and private team discussions. Click the "Transfer" button in the banner at the top of your team discussions page, then choose the repository in your organization that you want to migrate the discussions to.

For more information on GitHub Discussions, see "About discussions."

On your team's page, you can use team discussions for conversations that span across projects or repositories and don't belong in a specific issue or pull request. Instead of opening an issue in a repository to discuss an idea, you can include the entire team by having a conversation in a team discussion.

Any organization member can post on your team's page or participate in a public discussion. Private posts are only visible to team members and organization owners, and public posts are visible to all members of the organization.

You can link to any team discussion to reference it elsewhere. You can pin important posts to your team's page for quick reference later. For more information, see "Pinning a team discussion."

Team discussions are available in organizations by default. Owners can disable team discussions for the entire organization. For more information, see "Disabling team discussions for your organization."
