Shared channels within an organization
Shared channels within an organization will allow people in different teams to collaborate on a shared project or v-team in the context of their own teams. A channel can be shared across teams in the same organization.

Nearly two years later... you can have comedy backdrops and funny animations but not this important functionality...

This is a much greater need than sharing channels with external parties.
It all comes down to centralized versus decentralized file storage, and who must have access to x team.
For example, the finance team could create a channel for all projects and their Financials. But the individual project teams only have their shared financial channel from the finance team.
This keeps finance team from having to be on every project team and/or someone from the project team having access to the finance team.
This also enables auditing from a centralized location instead of decentralized locations.

This would be a gamechanger as to how you organise Teams. Could be so much more efficient

It should be that a team (like a project) can create public channels that anyone can browse/contribute to without having to join the team.
Then, there should be a way to browse all the public channels in an organization, and add then subscribe to them either from a team, or an individual.
... ah, I see this is a different feature "Public channels".
One problem is the current definition of a 'private' team as being 1) hidden, and 2) inaccessible to joining - this should be renamed 'secret'. To have a public channel, a team must be 1) not hidden, and 2) inaccessible i.e. private.

Upvote! Much needed to avoid virtual teams sprawl. Today either everyone needs to be in one team or you have the same topic in multiple teams and this is unusable

Great feature that needs to be implemented to compete with the likes of slack

Indeed an essential function to avoid an overflow of different teams and to be able to share ideas between teams in an efficient way.

Need this ASAP to improve cross-functional communication within our teams. Without this, instead of having manageable individual teams we wind up with giant monolithic teams that include absolutely everyone

I'm launching teams in our organisation and this has been my first stumbling block. I'm so surprised that this functionality is not available. I can see that people have been crying out for this since 2018. Why the delay??
