Hi Vinaypanchal2829

See article - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/private-channels

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 it is confirmed as coming - but not here today

Hope that answers your question

Best, Chris

Are you creating the Team from the Teams admin console? Make sure that the Team owner is also a Team member. Use the M365 admin center or PowerShell (not teams admin center) to verify the owner is also a member of the Teams group

As of 30/06/2021 Planner/Tasks App cannot be added to private channels. Same applies to Forms. This limitation is confirmed in the documentation on private channels in Docs.com. There is uservoices open for both should you wish to vote up on them.

Actually you can, in the mobile app for example you can add it to the channel. Email notifications will even be sent out to those you assign tasks to. However the tab will not show on the Desktop Teams it seems so is ultimately useless. It only seems to show for the person who created it.

So it half works, in the typical Microsoft way, but is ultimately useless and documented to the contrary of reality. So yeah, Microsoft.
