Creating Tasks from Teams Channel Posts
If the Team has had the Tasks app added to it, I would think you would see this as I do. Using the ... menu from the post there is more actions and it includes Create a Task.
I think the create a new action will take you to Power Automate when you could create a custom flow to create the task that way too.

This is really helpful!! I seem to only be able to get that option in a general channel. Any idea why other channels in a Team don't display this?
I have one team where my view in the general channel looks just like yours. Then the next channel down from the general channel (within the same Team) looks like this:
Could the channel where you do NOT see it be a private channel?
In one of my Teams I have 9 channels. 8 public ones show the option. The 9th one is private and does NOT show the option.Yes, you hit the nail on the head. The channels where I don't have the option to create a task are indeed all private channels.
It sounds like if I want this functionality then perhaps I need to create a separate Team instead of a private channel within a Team.
Unless there's a work-around then I might just be stuck here. I don't think I'll be able to convince everyone on this Team to change their workflow just because I want the Task functionality. Just the same, this was really insightful and helped narrow down the issue at least.
- In a channel, select +. Select Planner. Create a plan and then select Save.
Add and assign tasks.
Select + to create a task and enter a name.
Select Set due date and select a date.
Select Assign and choose who to assign it to.
Select Add Task.
