Move teams, channels, chat history, and the files behind them to another Microsoft 365 tenant — with a guided tool built for IT teams who want to run the migration themselves.
Teams migration — chat history especially — is genuinely more complex than a file or mailbox move. It can take longer than other workloads and is subject to Microsoft's own API limits. We'd rather tell you that upfront than have it be a surprise mid-project. See Known Limitations below.
Teams migration software moves teams, their channels, membership, and the conversation history within them from one Microsoft 365 tenant to another. This typically comes up during mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, or tenant consolidations, where an organization's Teams environment needs to move to a new home without starting from scratch.
Teams itself is built on top of other Microsoft 365 services — channel files live in SharePoint, and Teams calendar events live in Exchange. This tool focuses specifically on the Teams-native layer: teams, channels, membership, and chat/channel message history. Files travel along with their team automatically as part of that migration.
Four steps, with more planning up front than a typical file migration — Teams migration benefits from it.
Authenticate your source and destination tenants using an admin account with the necessary permissions.
Choose which teams to migrate, and configure how chat history should carry over.
Map source users to destination accounts so membership and message authorship stay correct.
Run the migration — expect this stage to take longer than a file-only move — then review the completion report.
Teams structure, conversations, and the files that go with them.
Team and channel structure, membership, channel conversation history, 1:1 and group chat history, channel files, and standard channel tabs.
SharePoint sites not tied to a Team, and general mailbox/OneDrive content, are handled by SharePoint Migration and Office 365 Migration. Third-party app tabs and custom Teams apps typically need to be reconfigured at the destination rather than migrated.
Real constraints of Teams migration, not specific to this tool — worth planning around.
Chat and channel history migration takes meaningfully longer than a file-only move, especially for teams with a long conversation history. Plan your project timeline accordingly.
Teams migration relies on Microsoft's own migration APIs, which apply rate limits. Large migrations may need to run in batches over a longer period as a result — this is a Microsoft platform constraint, not specific to any one tool.
1:1 chat migration typically requires an admin/placeholder account with broad permissions in both tenants to authorize the move — this is a Microsoft requirement, not a tool limitation.
Built for admins who want control without the scripting.
Choose to bring chats over as fully active conversations, or migrate them as searchable history only.
Map source users to destination accounts so membership and authorship carry over correctly.
Migrate teams in batches and schedule runs around Microsoft's API limits rather than manually pacing yourself.
Get a completion summary — teams migrated, items moved, anything skipped — for every run.
The tool runs from your own machine and connects directly to your source and destination tenants using Microsoft's own authentication. Content moves directly between the two — it doesn't route through or sit on any CloudMigPro server in between.

Teams migration has more moving parts than most workloads — if you'd rather hand it to a team that does this daily, we can help.
