Planner for Private Channels
Hello all, Does anyone have any information on when Private Channels will get Planners? Teams is a collaborative tool, but you can't assign tasks to people in private channels due to the lac...
- You can assign people of private channels tasks just fine. Private channel members are members of the Team so you can assign them tasks. The only thing you cannot do is have a "private" plan.
This is going to probably be awhile if at all since they have to rearchitect how Planner works to hide individual plans based on channels.
Anyway, you can use a website tab in a private channel to link straight to another plan if you want a link there, but you can most def. still assign tasks to anyone in the Team. If you need a private plan in general, then you'll have to have a Plan created on it's own, then a website tab linked to it and invite everyone in the channel, but at this point you might as well just create a new private Team for these people in the channel instead.

ChrisWebbTech Hi, its 2021 - are planners available for private channels yet? If I have 500 people in General Team and create private channel (team) with 10 people - I am not able to quickly select one of the ten people names to filter tasks and see 500 people in my planner who have nothing to do with the work. Any thoughts on how to proceed to take advantage of the planner function for smaller teams in private channels?
- I just ran into this limitation today. Painful to see that it has been discussed for so long without proper functionality implemented in Teams. 😞
