Most channels are standard ones — everyone on the team can see them as well as view and participate in conversations, share files, and more. With a private channel, members of a team must be specifically added to it to participate, see content, and to see the channel appear in their list of channels. Note: Team owners can create private channels, and allow members to create them. Whoever creates a private channel can add people to it. Create a private channel 1. Go to a team you want to create a channel for, select More options > Add channel. 2. Type a name and description. 3. Under Privacy, select the down arrow and choose Private - Specific teammates have access. 4. Select Create. 5. Type in the names of who you'd like to invite including guests. Note: People must already be members or guests of a team to be added to a private channel. 6. Select Add, change anyone's role if needed, and select Done. People you've added will see it appear in their channel list with a lock next to the name. To add people, see current members, and view private channel updates, select the Open people pane. Meet Now and share a file - To meet with just the people in a private channel, select Meet now. - When you share a file in a private channel, it's viewable and accessible only to people with access to the channel.
