Can't add members to private channels
- Hi Andrew Silcock
Whilst the workarounds for this issue are
1.) To add via the mobile app (IoS/Android)
2.) Completely remove and re-add user to the team
It does look like a bug. I have raised it here
https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/908686-bug-reports/suggestions/39418315-bug-inconsistency-in-being-able-to-add-users-to-p
I have also raised it internally with the Microsoft engineering team. Hopefully they will verify and fix soon
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris
OMG I found the workaround to this a few years ago (see beginning of thread) and I can't believe that the workaround (adding to the mobile app) is still being used. I'll probably flag this to the engineering team as I am pretty shocked that this is still happening! 😄
Best, Chris
ChrisHoardMVP Thanks for sticking with this issue.
I am experiencing it today with 2 guest users in my tenant.
The mobile workaround is working but not really acceptable several years later.
Also, the uservoice link is broken (not your fault- ALL uservoice links are broken XD)
I have a real problem with the way Microsoft acknowledge and address bugs (they don't!). I guess there is no way for us as users to get any kind of acknowledgement from MS side? or even better, a fix???
No worries, Uservoice has shifted to feedback portal here and not all of them were carried over
Feedback · Community (microsoft.com)
and just doing a search they carried it over for me
I'll chase up on the bug having been raised to engineering. Could be some time even after getting in from of them because they have a ton to deal with
Best, Chris
