Thanks for raising this. We get the priority of private channels are are working on it - no further updates at this point.

I have so many uses for this feature. It would make Teams just about perfect. It would also help eliminate having to create so many individual Teams.
Example: I want to send faculty surveys to all my Program Directors. I have to create separate Teams for each Program. If I could have Private Channels, I could have one Team for Faculty Survey Distribution. Then, I could communicate to the Program Directors at the same time through the combined team, but could give them their Program surveys and private information through the Private Program channels.
Drill down a step further. The Program Director wants to give his faculty their surveys in Teams. They could then have a Program Team with separate channels for each faculty member. It would be easy to move files from their main channel to the individual faculty member's private channels.
Just one use of this feature that would be amazing!

Top! Can I read about ETA for this? This is a deal breaker for us.

I wonder if the delay is on how they will handle the back end storage in SharePoint. Today a SP Site is created and a single document library is used for all files in that Teams area. Channels have separate folders for each channel in the single document library.
The MS Teams and SPO story is still in the early chapters, i guess.
On SharePoint you have the option of sharing specific documents and folders to specific people. You can give them edit and view only permissions. I don't understand why that capability can't be transferred to Teams. It seems like SharePoint has that functioning already.

No, I wouldn’t say Q1! They haven’t told any updates on this for awhile but they say they are working on something!
If I have to guess, not earlier than Q3
