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.

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.
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.

Yes... looking at teams as slack replacement and this is really important.

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

This would make Teams applicable to my project

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??

Hi,
You can use "Cross-post a channel conversation in Teams" as explained in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/cross-post-a-channel-conversation-in-teams-9c1252a3-67ef-498e-a7c1-dd7147b3d295?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us

This is badly needed. Right now it is all or nothing - they get access to the whole Team or nothing at all. Private channels is a good start. Shared channels would add even more flexibility and continue progress in the right direction. Creating a new Team for every situation is not reasonable.

Holy Cow, inconceivable that it cannot do this

Amazed that this is not yet possible - I don't want to share the whole group area - just one channel. I suppose I might have to create a new group just to host a particular channel - so it can be shared more widely, without giving access to my other group channels.
