    Hi @Lily Au
    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Q&A.
    Yes, there is a limit.

    • A Microsoft Team can have up to 100 owners.
    • Standard channels do not have separate ownersthey are managed by the Team owners.
    • Private channels can have multiple owners, but the total number of members (including owners) is limited to 250.
    • Shared channels can also have multiple owners, with a maximum of 5,000 direct members, including up to 50 Teams.

    You can find more details here: Limits and specifications for Microsoft Teams Thank you again for your patience and for choosing Microsoft Q&A forum.
