How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Create Planner tabs within Private Channels

We have just started using Private Channels, which is great as our team has sub teams within it and this way we can have private discussions, without creating multiple teams.

What we'd also like to do is create Planner Plans within the Private Channels that are only accessible to those within the Private Channel. Is this on the roadmap?

    The need for planner in private channels is in high demand, especially after reading several posts in a few other forums. I've learned in these forums that the need and frustration from your users has been expressed so much that it is surprising to me this has not been enabled by now.

    Is there a recommended work around that is not convoluted with steps or confusing to understand?

    Can you give us all an anticipated date of when this app will be available in private channels? I was reading posts starting from January 2019 about this... that's a lot of time gone by with no fix.

    Please help your users!

    The planner App is essential to the use of teams for collaboration. Please Add!

    I agree with all comments here. Please add this functionality ASAP. This would allow us to start using Teams for many more purposes internally than we do now.

    Would love to see planner added to private channels. Great way to work with sub-teams and colleagues!

    Would be great! Our team's has set our channel to private, as we cover also sensitive topics. We would like to work with planner also in our Private Team Channel.

    Please implement this - Thanks Dan for your initiative

    sooo bummed. We have begun leveraging Planner for all our teams' work visualization. It's a great simple integration. Then find we can't use it in any private channels which means having to have multiple solutions to cover private/HR/management/sensitive items. Please please please add soon.

    Planner is an excellent tool and inexplicable that it wouldn't be made available in private channels.

    So this is very frustrating. I had no idea I could not add a Planner tab to a private channel until after I spent a lot of time creating and assigning every task. Now I have a list of tasks and no way to share them with the team.
    Honestly, there needs to be a big warning when you add the Planner app until this is fixed, which ought to be a priority since the app is basically useless until it can be shared within a private channel.

    We have sub-teams as well, and I am currently having to make entire new teams for my sub teams simply because private channels don't support any of the apps (such as praise, planner, etc). Please add support for all the apps to Private Channels. The only option a private channel should change is visibility from other members of the teams, not accessibility to needed apps or functions that are available in every other channel.
