Unable to share externally on Shared Channels
We are unable to share files and folders on shared channels with external users. We get the following message when trying share with an external email address: “Your org doesn't allow sharing with these people. To continue sharing, remove the highlighted recipients.” We are able to share externally on Standard and Private channels. Guest Access is On in the Teams admin console: In the SharePoint admin console > Policies > Sharing > External Sharing, both SharePoint and OneDrive are set to “New and existing guests”. In the SharePoint admin console > Sites > Active Sites, the team site in question has External Sharing set to “This site can be shared with new and existing guests”. On the General channel we are able to share with external users. However, on the shared channel sites, External Sharing defaulted to “This site can't be shared externally”. There is no edit button. As a workaround, I leveraged PNP PowerShell to enable external sharing with the following command: Set-PnPTenantSite -Url $SiteURL -SharingCapability ExternalUserSharingOnly The SharePoint admin console now indicates that I can share externally on the shared channel site. External Sharing shows “This site can be shared with new and existing guests”. However, I still receive the aforementioned error when trying to share externally. What am I missing? How do I enable external sharing on shared channel sites? Why is this not consistent with SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams standard/private channels?
Member Count in Teams Room is incorrect
I have created a new Teams Room with several Shared channels, each will have different members. I added the first group of owners and members yesterday, however when I go into the Manage Team or Manage Channel to view the members, the count is incorrect. For example, for the Shared Channel, the count says 8 members, but there are only 5 and there should only be 5. I have tried clearing the cache, quitting Teams, using the web and client version, adding and removing members and using the analytics tab hoping the O365 would be updated, but nothing is working. TIA! CaitlynAdditional permissions are required for FileBrowser when collaborating externally
Hello! I hope you can help. My colleague has access to an externally hosted MS Teams shared channel. They can collaborate within the channel fine, however when they navigate to the 'Files' tab and select a file (such as Word or PowerPoint) they are asking to provide additional permissions to the FileBrowser (shown in the screenshot below). Does anyone know what may be causing this? It's appears once a day or after a restart.Shared-channels single post comments aggregation coming from various segregated teams (Toggle)
Hi folks, I frequently use shared channels to post ongoing provider incidents to various teams (whether this is related to cloud outages, API errors, etc.). Could we have a synchronization function for the comments from various teams? The comments could be aggregated with the switch of a toggle so as not to copy-paste the same status multiple times to all teams, over and over again. And on the other side, if the toggle is not activated, we could maintain some separation. Please vote https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/f9e01c1d-eb4b-ee11-a81c-0022484eccc5. Thank you for your consideration and comments.

Microsoft is making it easier for owners of Teams shared channels to request help if they run into a trust problem when adding a member from another domain. If Teams detects a problem with a missing trust, it flags the error to the channel owner and offers a link to a web page to seek additional support. Of course, the tenant might decline to trust the domain the channel owner wants to use, but that’s a different story. https://office365itpros.com/2023/07/18/shared-channels-requests/
Shared channel site using Managed Properties
Does anyone know if I can use Managed Properties in a document library that is on a Shared Channel Site in Teams? My admin wants to change one of my communication sites to a Shared channel site but I am using the documents in the library in a number of Highlighted content webparts using managed properties and I am not sure they will work if they are moved. Has anyone done this?
