How do we create a shortcut link to a private channel? (not available like normal channels)
Great that we now have private channels. Have been looking for how to link to them but cannot find a way. This is normal for normal channels but has been left out of Private ones for some reason. Having this functionality is very important as without it you have to use screenshots to get to them.
Anyone know how to or when this may be coming in?
Thanks,

Hi,
Not sure why it is not there, but I can confirm it. You can request a change for this here:
https://aka.ms/teamspublicfeedback
And/Or from Teams client > Help (lower left corner) > Give feedback
As a workaround you can open Team web app (https://teams.microsoft.com), open the Private channel and copy the URL from the web browser.
Isn't ridiculous how the web version has more functionality than the app? Some aspects of Teams are a real eye roller.
LinusCansby Thanks. Great ideas for work round. Will feedback to Tech Team
SebRSR Just wanted to note that the workaround allows you to link the private channel itself, but not the conversation.
