Cannot add azure pipelines to private channel

Copper Contributor

Trying to add an azure pipelines bot to a newly created private channel in Teams. I try to add the app to a team, and then search for the new channel and it does not populate in the window. The other channels for the team do appear in the dropdown.

@bmpatter I am also experiencing this same issue.  Looking forward to a resolution.

@jlinker after some research I found that some bots aren't able to be used in private channels. I believe this is one of those situations. I was able to add the bot to a new team with an open channel within. 

Hi all,

See article

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/private-channels

Currently, private channels support connectors and tabs (except Stream, Planner, and Forms). We're working on full apps support for private channels, including messaging extensions and bots.

Azure Pipelines is a bot and messaging extention.

So it will come soon. I have raised a uservoice here for visibility

Would vote to push it up the agenda. Hope this answers your question!
