Convert Private Channel to Public Channel
Its good that Private channels are introduced in MS Teams. Can we have a option to convert a private channel to public channel.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhanu

Thank you for your feedback! The team has reviewed this request and has added it to our backlog for both Private to Standard (Public) and Standard (Public) to Private channel conversion. We will share an update as soon as it’s available.

Well here I find myself in the same boat as others. I created a huge file structure and made the channel private when I built it. Now 2 of the people in this project cannot participate because they are contract hires even though we gave them a company email. This is still an issue! I can not believe I did this much work for collaboration on a quarter of a million dollar project just for this punch in the face.

I would not have set up a private channel had I done my homework and realized this functionality was not available. Disappointed in the rework I'll be doing this weekend

We need this function for the project asap, in order to procide an access for the wgole team (over 300 people)! In private channels you can add only 250 members. Now we are working on concept to create public channels.
Please update this function as soon as possible!
