    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!

    I would also appreciate the feature to convert a privat channel into a public

    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
