Microsoft Teams Connect aka Shared Channels Coming Later in 2021
in addition to my earlier post I discovered a way to add members and owners to a private channel when in the Admin Center. This makes it easier to grant access when needed!
So I (as an admin) now have a way to see if there are private channels and in case of need for support can also get access without the need for an user to grant it (which could have been difficult if no owners are left 😉 )
Seek, ask and you will find an answer hahaha
Thanks TonyRedmond for your help in easily discovering them via Powershell btw

- I think you'll have to wait and see. While Teams will be able to federate with other tenants, different applications will need to be able to do the same thing. There's no guarantee if and when Power BI will be able to federate externally.
Given the ability to share a channel to an external user, is there anything to prevent us from adding a power bi app into a tab on that channel and thus allowing external users to see the reports?
Currently I use the "app owns data/embedded" setup with a external website (time-consuming but works well).
Having externals authenticated from their own tenancy and invited into a Channel might I think open up a huge time-saver.
interested if anyone knows if my thoughts are on track or not?
