I believe it’s only 10 channels that you can make visible as the owner by that setting. Try un tick and set the new channel and see if that works

    Hi, I am having the same issue with a live environment. We have Teams set up and when creating new Channels within that Team, we choose "Standard - accessible to everyone on the team" for the Privacy - however once its created - the channel is "hidden". We have too many users in Teams to have each one of them go and "unhide" the channel to use it. And Im sure like everyone, we have some less tech-savy users who dont know how to do this without guidance.

     

    We only have 3 channels, and this happens when we delete and create new channels. We have had other "Owners" of the Team create channels, but every time - they are marked hidden, and need to be set to "unhide" per user.

     

    Please advise, adam deltinger

    IM sorry, i dont understand. 

     

    The org team only has two channels in it so far. The second channel is hidden for the test user.

     

    The "Automatically show this channel in everyones channel list" is already checked.  Is there another check box somewhere else?
