Adding users to a channel by AAD group
I know we can add users to a Team by typing the AAD group name and it will add the members of that group to the team.
Can this functionality also be used to add members of the said Team to a Private Channel instead of adding over 40+ members individually?
An example could be that you have an Internal IT Department Team and you have a Private channel for 2nd line Techs only, They are already members of the team but how can the Admin add the group of 2nd Line Techs to this private channel in bulk?

torra723 Private Channels do not have an Azure AD group behind them, so you can't automate by adding people there.
You can however use Teams PowerShell to add people to a Private Channel, or Microsoft Graph, for example using this cmdlet
