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.

Please bump this up in your priority guys!
I am so surprised that this capability didn't come shipped with v1.

Hi
This type of channel could be a good way to share information across a matrixed organization or collaboration. Within a project, where some work product has contributions from multiple teams this shared channel could be specific to a particular work product (work package). On short term projects this could even be usefully linked to Planner. Just a potential use case that comes to mind. Thanks . . Erik -

I beg for this. Or at least another way of achieving something similar. Being a bit new to Teams, I thought that this feature would have existed already!

This is would a tremendous addition. Perfect example for property management; a Leasing Team with a channel for each property but those property channels also need to be in the individual building teams.

this and three other items on the Backlog should all be fat Tracked as they would make Teams the ultimate collaboration space with excessive proliferation.
- Channel only members:
- Shared channels across organizations:
- Shared channels within an organization
- Public channels: -

I realized about this need just few days ago.
Reading about this, first ideas come from 2017...
A great feature to simplify collaborations between teams.
Now we have to put everyone in every team or create special teams for collaborations (a mess)... -

This excellent idea would stop us from having to create so many teams! While it would still be appropriate for certain projects to get their own team, some projects need the communications department and IT involved, or Payroll and Marketing, etc. Shared channels would absolutely nail that use case and would save us some of the overhead of making a million new teams.

Is sounds interesting, but we make the whole channel topic more and more complicated. I wonder if this creates more confusion, so it needs to be visualized clearly. Anyway, I agree on the need to have cross team interaction.

+1 yes nice feature - but... there needs so be an owner of the shared channel, correct? how does this compare with allowing people to join a specific channel and not a whole team? things could get confusing

@Warren One year later, this is still on the backlog, I suppose, but could you post a quick update on whether there are any new developments? Even negative news are better than no news...
