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?

    From a medical perspective private channels are needed but we loose capability and cannot use planner and form apps.

    This is a feature that is absolutely necessary, especially if you consider having a team with "permanent members" and time-limited participants : the former may need to organise their planning in a private channel without having the latter possibly intruding.

    What do you think ? ;-)

    This would be a great feature to be added ASAP! The functionalities are there, you just need to give permission for Private channels

    It is way past y2k :-) and we really would appreciate the Planner-functionality within Private channels.

    Please add this critical function, or enable to switch between private and public chanels.

    It is possible to add a Planner on a public channel, then why not on a private channel?
    It would be really nice to have - in order for small teams within a larger group to organize their work

    This would be very beneficial as we have also have sub-teams and creating a planner within the private channels would eliminate excess information and only the planner for particular members would be beneficial.

    Running a Team Site for many Projects and setting up Private Channels for each Sub Project Team it would awesome to have a Task and Planner for each. You can add individual plans to channels that are public. It is a waste to build one Team for Every Project that needs to be Private.
    Please Devs make this wish come true!

    I doubt this will ever be delivered due to current architecture.
    A Planner needs an O365 Group.
    A Private Channel (which is already part of an O365 Group, i.e. Teams) creates a new Site collection to secure the files to that channel.
    Having a Planner in this new Site Collection means you would need to create a new O365 Group.
    So, you would have a Group inside a Group.
    Did you ever see Inception?
