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.

I'd like to add forms to my private channel. Unfortunately it's not possible. So I wanted to change to public. Please enable it soon. Many teachers are lost :)

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!

definitely need that, I thought privates will remain private to the team but is private (unseeable to everyone) unless I add those people to the team members pool then add them again to the channel. So inefficient.

Having the ability to create a flow that takes values from a list in a private channel and updates a list in a public channel would be helpful.

I agree that this would be very good feature. to be honest I find the public/private a bit messy
