Forms in a Private Channel in Teams
When do you think the Forms app will be supported in a private channel as a tab?

They are currently actively working on it per article

Currently, private channels support connectors and tabs (except Stream, Planner, and Forms). We're working on full apps support for private channels, including messaging extensions and bots.
So this is currently in the works. But no confirmed timescale as of yet.
Hope that answers your question!
Best, Chris
- After 1 year and a half, is a no-update a sort of "reply"?

There is a Uservoice item on this but it doesn't have many votes. The features team prioritizes its workload partially based on user feedback, so it's worth voting on https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/40254460-apps-in-private-channels.Hello and thanks for your reply!
With regard to Forms in private channels, I suggest that you check this specific UserVoice request: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/39766027-add-microsoft-forms-app-to-a-private-channel
13 Months later and still "working on full apps support for private channels". That's very disappointing.
- have you tried to just add the form url to a website tab. It works fairly similar to having the form tab.
ChrisWebbTech Best answer, works perfectly! Thank you!
ChrisWebbTech How do you add a URL at the top of a private channel? Is there an app for that?
- Yeah, the Website app.
thanks, it really helped me a lot.
