Can't add members to private channels
After creating a team and adding private channels, I can't add members to private channels consistently. Sometimes I can; sometimes I can't. Also having issues adding guests to teams.
- Jan 13, 2020Hi Andrew Silcock
Whilst the workarounds for this issue are
1.) To add via the mobile app (IoS/Android)
2.) Completely remove and re-add user to the team
It does look like a bug. I have raised it here
https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/908686-bug-reports/suggestions/39418315-bug-inconsistency-in-being-able-to-add-users-to-p
I have also raised it internally with the Microsoft engineering team. Hopefully they will verify and fix soon
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris

Hi Cathy_McK
Thanks for raising this issue. A few questions
- Is this consistent across users?
- Is this issue occurring in the web app (teams.microsoft.com) as well as the desktop app
Look forward to hearing from you

Hi ChrisHoardMVP,
I have the same issue. I can't add a Team member to any private channel. It works well with any other Team member. Worked sometimes from my cellphone, but not always.
- davidtaylorjrApr 16, 2020Copper ContributorI'm having the same issue. Can't add people to channels even though they are part of a team.

Same here, I can't add users to the private channel, even if they are in our Azure AD or O365, internal or external guest users. Also it doesn't matter which way I access Teams desktop app, mobile app or online.
lookup field displayes message "we couldn't find any matches" I even tried to add members from the admin pannel, same result.- conniemageeMay 31, 2021Copper ContributorI'm having the exact same issue as Przemyslaw Lis. The lookup field can't find the match on my desktop or mobile app
