MS Teams Private Channels - Planner App
Hi edmm94,
this is not an "issue" it is not possible to add apps to a private channel.
This is one of the restrictions we have to deal with up until now. I can not tell you if there is a plan to integrate apps later.

Ajirich you should see Website as an option when you add a tab. If you don't then it could be like you are saying and it is being restricted.

Hi AngelOreo I have been trying to use this workaround to use Planner in private channels. I am able to add the website tab and then link to the URL no problem. My question is can't all members of that Team see the channel since the Plan sits under the Team not the Channel?
For example, I have a Team named Fruit and a private channel each for Apples, Pears and Bananas. I make a plan for each channel but they all sit under the Fruit Team. That means Apples members see their plan in their private channel but Pears can also see it if they look at the Fruit plans.
Am I doing something wrong? When I create a new plan it asks me which group I want to add it to but only gives me the option to add to a Team, not channels.
jhfrench Hi. I just realized I missed a step in that post. Be sure to select the Private channel you created, and then within that private channel setup the Website Tab pointing to the Plan. Also, be sure you add the proper members to the private channel as well as the plan. The plan does not inherit members from the channel etc... See the images below of the two private channels I created with my primary account, and then the channels I can see\access with my test account.
AngelOreo Thanks so much for trying to help. My setup doesn't look like this so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. The website tab is set up in the private channel. It's just that the plan isn't private, so anyone in the team can see it. I've asked my IT guys to look into it for me. Thanks again!
