Copy conversation link in a private channel
I'd like to be able to copy a conversation link in a private channel, like you can for a public channel. This presently doesn't exist. I would imagine the link would appear as a dead link (not authorized), to anyone not in the private channel.

Thank you for your feedback. The team is considering how to best add this feature. We will share an update as soon as one is available.

Yes please. I have created small groups for my classroom, but students are struggling to find their private channel. I would love to be able to email them a link as an additional resource

we need to be able to get a link to the private channel - otherwise people have to navigate to find it in Teams, and for people that have a lot of Teams/Channels, this is time consuming and a barrier to getting them to engage

Also implement links to messages, like in non-private channels, please!

Listen I hate that private channels exist just as much as you didnt want to put them in but they are here. Not having direct links to posts seems like a massive oversight, please commit to doing something about it. Hopefully this isnt out of spite for not wanting these things in the first place.

I can't understand how user experience designers haven't thought: Hey maybe this might be useful at some point?

This appears to be a bug. My business partners cannot send a link to a private channel, please fix this

seems more like a bug (that it got left out) than a feature to add...

Man. I moved to Teams, but the lack of this feature might force me to reconsider. Is this on a roadmap somewhere?

WE NEED LINK FOR THE PRIVATE CHANNELS, ESPECIALLY OR WHEN WE CREATE MEETINGS DIRECTLY ON OUTLOOK WITH MEET TEAMS.
THANKS

This would be very useful in my organization many departments want this function, and we want to offer the user the best experience.

I found a work around, but this seems like a no brainer to include when scheduling private meetings.

It would be useful for linking the conversation to a planner board too

Even though the channel is private, still desperately need a convenient way to point members to a very specific spot within Teams to avoid having to take screen shots to show them. I've learned a work around is to get the URL through the web app. But it'ss extremely cumbersome, time consuming compared to how it works for public channels, and I can't get it to work.
