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.

    I am also wondering on the status of this. Our company is having several issues where employees create channels not understanding the difference between public and private and not understanding that it cannot be changed later. I have cases where I need to change both types to the other type.

    Hi, any updates on this feature yet.
    It seemed like a no brainer and is creating sooooo much headache to everyone in our company.

    Will Microsoft be upgrading the Teams environment so you can change a Teams Channel from Public to Private or vice versa any time soon? It would be so nice to have that feature instead of creating a New Teams channel and having to move all the data/files that is already in that space. Thank you

    Absolutely. Team owners need to be able to toggle them on/off. Its especially frustrating when you want to add a person to a Team but don't necessarily want them to have access to a previously created public channel in that Team.

    Hello, any updates? It´s almost one year in the backlog. BR

    This conversion capability from private to public channel is especially important since the full capabilities of public channels aren't available in private channels. Thanks!

    I vote for this option! Besides it would be very handy to have Planner in a private channel as well.

    Is there an ETA of when this will be available - make life kind of difficult (e.g. private channels can't have tasks)
