Make public channel private
It would be nice to convert some of our already established channels to private now the feature is available in the same way it may be desired to de-classify a private channel to public at some point too.
Currently a channel privacy can only be set during creation.

Thank you for your feedback! The team has reviewed this request and has added it to our backlog for both Standard (Public) to Private and Private to Standard (Public) channel conversion. We will share an update as soon as it’s available.

Please change this to a priority. it's so annoying to make a channel accidentally public, then delete it and try to make another private only to see that the exact name says 'already in use' from the team you just deleted. Even a month later we still can't use that name again.
Public to private and private to public option should be a high priority. (pleeeeeeease :-)

We should be able to set a channel as private <> public whenever we see fit without having to delete them and create them again :/
This has been in the queue for too long already....thank you
There is another request for the same with more than 3K votes so in total we have more than 10K votes. -

We're now 8 months after it went on the backlog - any updates or an ETA of when this will be available?

This would be very useful and is potentially important for confidentiality reasons when additional people are added to a team.

A status report on this feature would be great! This is a feature I've been waiting on before we adopt teams whole heartedly as a business.

1 year and 5 months as still waiting for the option! Perhaps you can share an update on when this option is likely to occur, if ever.

Once the option to toggle a channel from private to public is available, it would be even better to be able to modify/trigger this through Power Automate
