    UwuTheClouds123 You cannot make the General channel private and that's where one of my teachers is having the posting problem.  Suggestions?

      Private channels is a poor solution for us. Our organisation has several teams, each with several channels. If we add/remove someone to our Organisation or our Team, we will have to provide permissions to each private channel, rather than just the Team. Membership management will become a nightmare.

      Another issue is that every Team has a SharePoint site that stores shared files. When you make a channel private, it creates a new SharePoint site for the channel. We will then have tons of SharePoint sites instead of just one per Team.
