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

I've been having the same problem. Quickest fix for me was to use my mobile Teams app (Android) to add people. The nice thing about the mobile app is it shows a list of people you can add from the team, unlike the desktop app which has no list (for me anyway).
