2 ways to migrate Microsoft Teams from one tenant to another
Microsoft Teams has become central to the Microsoft 365 user experience—with new and improved features, an easy-to-use interface, and seamless integration with other Microsoft tools.
With the content created in Teams now more valuable than ever, the ability to migrate this data as needed is no longer a nice-to-have; in the context of a merger or acquisition, it’s a critical process to ensure our workflows also transition with us seamlessly.
For that reason, we created this article to guide you through your options for migrating Microsoft Teams from one tenant to another.
Choosing a Microsoft Teams migration tool: Microsoft’s SharePoint Migration Tool and ShareGate’s Teams migration tool compared
As explored in our benchmark report, State of Microsoft 365: Migration, Modernization, and Security in 2021, productivity tools like Microsoft Teams have become integral to how we work. And with the rise in Teams usage, it only makes sense that we also want our Teams data to transition seamlessly with us.
Since the ShareGate team is well-known for our SharePoint migration tool—and since Teams is part of the same Microsoft 365 suite of productivity tools—our customers have questions:
How can I migrate my Teams resources to a new tenant in the context of a merger and acquisition? What’s the best way to reorganize teams and channels within the same tenant?
Another question we’ve been hearing a lot lately: Can the SPMT help me with my Teams migration?
Our engineers did a ton of research into Teams migration in the course of developing our latest ShareGate release where we included the ability to migrate Teams incrementally and move Planner plans. A major part of that process included looking at Microsoft’s SPMT to understand the capabilities and limitations of the tool.
To help you assess whether the features are enough to help you with your Teams migration, we decided to share what we learned and highlight some key differences between the SPMT and ShareGate’s Teams migration tool.

The true power of Teams lies in its integration with the rest of Microsoft 365, and its emergence as a one-stop-shop collaboration hub.
To really take full advantage of Teams, you need to understand how it interacts with Microsoft’s whole suite of cloud productivity apps and tools—a fact that became apparent as we developed ShareGate, our Microsoft 365 management solution. Most importantly? You need to understand how it interacts with SharePoint.
If you already use SharePoint and actively use existing team sites, there’s a few things you should know if you’re thinking about rolling out Teams anytime soon.
We spoke to seven-time Microsoft MVP and CEO of Orchestry Software Michal Pisarek (@MichalPisarek) about how to roll out Teams when you have existing SharePoint team sites.
