Unable to share EXISTING channels in Teams

[SW-Seafox]

Our tenant is configured to allow some users to *create* shared channels, but we're specifically looking for the functionality here to share *an existing channel* with either users or an existing Team

Share a channel with a team - Microsoft Support

Share a channel with people in Teams - Microsoft Support

While allowed users can create a shared Team, they don't even see the option to share *an existing channel* as described in the two articles above.

We're in the GCC - can anyone point me to something telling whether this "SHARE AN EXISTING CHANNEL" option is even available to GCC tenants

TIA for any thoughts or suggestions!

Hello,
The channel must be created as a Shared channel to be able to later share it.

Thanks for your response... that's exactly what I discovered with testing and in an article as well. <duh!> :)
