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 have been experiencing this issue when adding new users to Office 365. I can add them to the Group for the Team in the Azure portal, they appear in the Team, but then do not appear to exist when trying to add them to private channels. These are members I'm adding with Office 365 F3 and E1 accounts. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
