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 was also looking for a way to convert back a private channel to a public one.
This option would be very very helpful and needed -

Converting both from Private to Public and Public to Private would be helpful.
There are type we want to limit who can see it, and then open it up to everyone. -

Indeed, the way private channels were developed (being a completely different group/team/SharePoint site) does not suit our needs at all. Private channels require additional overload to manage, and being able to convert them to public would be much welcomed.Thanks.

Hi Alex.
I would have thought this would be a standard function in a collaboration tool such as MS Teams. Any idea when you are expecting this function to be added?
Thanks

I went to change my private channel to public today and realized I couldn't!! Please add this feature ASAP, I don't have time to recreate the entire channel with all the tabs etc.

When will it be possible to change a private channel back to public? A feature that is absolutely needed!

Please allow this option because there are still bugs happening when adding members to the private channel. To allow everyone access then I need to create a channel all over again making it public. This happens many times now and still no solution.

This would be hugely useful! Many times, nascent issues begin as pretty much private affairs, and then as they mature, others need to be brought into the conversation. I would wholeheartedly recommend that converting from a Private to Public channel be brought forward on the list of features to introduce. HUGE! thx

Please make the ability to change a channel from public to private and vice versa. It will help me greatly as I am now going to be teaching 2 grade levels simultaneously and would like them to all be members of the Team but not have access to all the channels. HELP!
