MS Teams Private Channels - Planner App

__hmoe__ 

I found a workaround!!!

This is a little much but here we go:

1. Go the the Planner web app (<!!!that's important!!!)https://tasks.office.com/YOURNUMBERS .onmicrosoft.com/en-US/Home/Planner/)
2. Create a new Plan. Name it whatever your structure is. Make sure your Privacy setting is  "Private". Then hit create.
3. You will now have the Plan you just created open. Next to the layout options (Board, Charts, Schedule) is the more link "...". Click that then in the dropdown click "Copy link to plan".
4. Go to Teams. Go to the private channel you want to put the Planner in. Click the "+" and in the popup click "Website". Name the tab exactly what you named the Plan to avoid confusion. Paste your url and hit "Save". If you get an alert that the site is not loading correctly, you'll need to open the desktop app Teams and you will see a login. Log into your account and that specific plan will load. !!!The plan will only display on the desktop app Teams at the time of this post!!! [sidenote: if you have multiple departments that are private like Social Media & Graphics then you can put the plan you just created into those channels also with a new tab.]
