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

Personally, I haven't had any issues adding people to private channels after adding them to the Team the last week - however there hasn't been confirmation that this has been explicitly fixed.
1.) Use the mobile client as specified many times in this string, as a workaround
2.) Sorry to hear that, I would raise this in a different thread so we can try to help
3.) Again, use the mobile client as a workaround in the given situation
4.) More granular Teams roles are currently under review

ChrisHoardMVP I'm having the same issue on the desktop. The member is a member of the Parent team also. It says it "can't find any matches" when trying to add the member.
