    KatyaraGreat question, As the structure of the private channel, is being part of the main Team sites which is also called parent site, for example, if your Teams sites URL is tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/parent the child site URL will be the same tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/parent-privatechannel so by design you are not able to find that in the Sharepoint admin center and nor you can make it part of the hub site as it is already child to a parent.

     

    you can only associate the parent site to a hub site.

     

    hope that answers your question...

This is a Design decision, for now, Sites tied to Private Channels are hidden in the SPO Admin Center...you can only query them by means of PowerShell

Hi Juan and Pervaiz,

 

In our tenant this changed as of yesterday and all private channel site collections are now available and actionable in the Active sites list. Are you aware of any guidance as to whether these sites should or should not be joined to hubs? We would like to for the benefit of search and also to inherit the hub's navigation.

 

Thanks!
