Ability to record meetings in private channels
Holding meetings in private channels is really useful (students don't need to know when instructional staff is meeting), but I want the ability to record them like I can in a general channel. Recording 1-1 meetings would also be helpful to international students who could then review them.

This feature request is being reviewed by the feature team. No new details to share at this time.

@Tracy_Washington: There is nothing in that article about Private Channels and as of today, you still cannot even schedule/host meetings in a Private Channel, much less record them...

I do not know why there should be a differenca at all between open and private channels. Please make it possible to schedule meetings in private channels.

Please!!! Scheduling channel meetings in private channels will be perfect for the director when he has 1:1 meetings with the leadership team, they can have their own private meeting notes and a place to leave files for review later.

THE FIX IS HERE! Microsoft has given us the ability to enable their new "Meeting Experience". Enabling the new meeting experience allows you to record meetings in private channels! Woohoo!
This article outlines how to enable the new meeting experience and includes more details regarding its features.

We want to use private channels as a means to break out discussions from the main meeting. this seemed an ideal solution until we discovered we couldn't record the meeting in a private channel. not sure why this is not an option?

Our University is hoping to host sections of courses in private channels, but have the wider Team be the collective roster for an entire course program. We currently cannot do this because recording is not permitted in private channels. This impacts hundreds of courses/instructors and thousands of students as we plan for Fall 2020. The efficacy of Teams would be significantly reconsidered by our faculty if recording in private channels were possible.

Just google the question and you will see how needed this capability is! We should not have to wait while its "under review"...give us the option now!

I just wanted to do parallel recordings in four channels of my course team. It worked for two channels and the general channel just fine, but in two channels, I didn't even have the recording option (even before I had started any of the other recordings). Couldn't find any differences in channel settings.
Any thoughts on that? -

Its absolutely necessary, we ask students to record, however they cant. And its turned out to be a big problem.

Do you know why? because microsoft wants to mine your data and scrape your speech/language
they can't do that when the channel recording is private.
