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
I notice that the entire list of responses date to early 2020. I am still having the same issue in October 2021. Will this bug ever be fixed?
Mark_Jordan January 2022 - and the bug is still not fixed. Just created new team, added many new members and guests ... created a private channel. Most of the members and guests added to the channel without problem, but a few were "could not find". Used the android app, and added them to the team without issue.
Come on Microsoft! Fix your bugs.
