How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Channel only members & guests

Channel only members enable collaboration with people outside the team in a specific channel, without granting them access to the team itself.  The channel member could be someone in your organization, or external to your organization (guest).

    This must be a top priority! We have a great need to both limit guests' access to certain channels and content & assign different groups of guest (tags) to different channels. Please!

    We desperately need this capability because we want to share certain channel communications and content with partners or agencies, but don't want to add them to the team or let them see everything on all channels! Please enable ASAP!

    This is crazy that it isn't a feature. 'On the backlog' isn't very encouraging for such a vital function. Please stop using agile, it just doesn't work with this kind of product development.

    Absolutely important feature!!! Nobody wants to work with guests who have access to all channels and documents! We need to be able to work with guests in specific channels.

    Wow, this's been requested almost three years ago. interesting how much MS team cares of people requests...

    This would be a fantastic option to have and would overcome a lot of the privacy issues when dealing with sensitive information.

    This feature would be perfect, at the moment all of our guests are showing in the members list, for obvious reasons we don't want our clients seeing each other. So do I now have to create a new private team per client and only invite the necessary people?

    As a program manager with interns and student employees, I want to add guests to a specific channel in my FTE Teams instance so that they can participate without seeing public channels with staff-only info.
