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 can confirm that we are also experiencing this bug. I was able to add the guests in using the mobile app, but Microsoft should definitely look to fix this! One of my colleagues flagged the issue and was completely stumped as to why it wasn't working for her and it was only because I found this thread that we worked out why.
Makes it quite hard to for me to sell people on the ease and simplicity of MS Teams with silly bugs like this lying around undermining confidence.
