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.
- Hi 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, I read through all the suggestions made on this thread and there are still some guests that we are having problems adding to the Private Channel. Some discrepancies I have noticed:
- When adding to general, the system claims this member is already in the Team. When I further search for this said contact, they are not within the team
- Since I cannot re-add/remove these members, I cannot find the contact to add them on the private channel.
I have tried on web, on the platform, and on iOS device.
Can you please suggest the remedy to this?
