Shared channels in Private teams - External sharing
I have enabled shared channels in Teams Admin center, B2B direct connect configurations are done in Entra Identity and sharing externally from Public team shared channel from our tenant is working ok...
Private channels can only contain a subset of Team members. To take advantage of the B2B Direct Connect settings, you need to use a Shared Channel and then invite the guest to that. Note that your guest has to be licensed for Teams and their organization will need to whitelist your organization in order that external user to participate.

Kelly_Edinger Thank you for your response. I have Shared channel and B2B direct Connect with this target tenant. There is also Teams federation between tenants enabled. Shared channels with this other tenant are working in my test team, that is public. However same setup is not working in other team that is private. So my question is that are the Shared channels some what limited, if the team it exists, is in fact private?
- Shared channels do (should) work in private Teams. Is it possible that someone disabled guest access for that particular Team in the Teams Admin Center? If not, this sounds like you may want to open a support ticket.
