Up to 50 shared channels can be created per team and like private channels, once a shared channel is deleted it will take 30 days until it is hard-deleted. Shared Channels are a new type of channel that allow you to set up extended sharing privileges safely within teams, if you have content that you want to share with people or teams external to your own team.Īt present, this feature is only available to internal users - you cannot use shared channels with external users directly (though if they are a member of the team already, they will be able to see the channel).Find out more about private channels here - Private channels in Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Docs

Teams can have up to 30 private channels but when a private channel is deleted, it will still count as one of the 30 channels until 30 days after it is deleted, when it will be purged from the team. Private Channel memberships can be separate and even the Team Owners can be excluded from their membership (though we advise against this to avoid any instances of 'orphaned' channels). Private Channels allow you to set up a channel with exclusive membership for scenarios where you want to create content that is not shared with the entire team.As well as generic channels shared with your entire team, there are two 'special' Teams channel types that allow you to control access, and share content safely with people outside of your team.
