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,

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.

    Absolutely need this! I created a private channel that now is getting unwieldy to add every user of the Team onto the private channel and it is cumbersome to recreate the channel publicly and delete the old one.

    Any update on this feature request? If this functionality works for Teams why can't it work for Channels??

    Any chance of an update from MS?
    It's now been nearly a year since this feature request was put on the backlog, so hopefully it can be looked at, soon.

    We would like to change Private Channel to Public. We tried but couldn't find any option.

    As this feature is MUST as there are some channels which Users created as Private but later on it required as Public Channel.

    I only need this because it seems that under a Private channel, some of the features are missing that would normally be under a publich channel. The 'More Actions' option doesn't appear under a private channel post ellipses. WHY??

    Would be very nice to prepare a team in advance and fill it as a smaller Team with conent before it will be Public.

    I would have thought that this is a really basic feature. What can be so hard about changing that?

  • Philipp S commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Why is this not yet implemented, its a no brainer even its a hidden feature so not everyone can do it.

    This request was created almost 2 years ago. The last update from MS was almost a year ago. I may never see this much-needed enhancement in my lifetime!
