Teams Improves Analytics in Desktop and Browser Clients

An item in the Teams release notes tells us that analytics are now available for channels. You can find out how many topics and replies are posted within a channel.

The information is interesting (at least the first time you look at it), but some doubts remain about its accuracy when the different methods of reporting are checked against each other. I’m sure it’s nothing more than timing, synchronization, or something else getting in the way.
