MS Teams Private Channels - Planner App
- Nov 06, 2019
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.

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!

I created the channel without making it private. Added the app then, made the channel private. The App is now there but, it does not present to my Tasks by Planner window....
- jhfrenchMar 29, 2021Copper ContributorThanks AngelOreo. I have tried to remove members from the plan but it actually removes them from the whole team/group. Apparently that has happened to others as well https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/planner/removing-users-from-a-plan/m-p/468278
