Distribution List or Security Group question
I can add a Distribution List or Security Group in Teams Channel under "Manage Team" but I can't see or add either if it is a Shared or Private channel under "Share Channel". How so? We really don't want to share the either channel by adding 1000 users. Thank you for your time.

List of all private channels that I own
Hi, is there a way for a 'normal business user' without developer access to export a list of all the private channels that whe/she owns? I could identify a list with all the Teams were I was the other but the private channels that belong to those individual teams do not show. How can I export a detail list with all Team and private channels within those Teams? Thanks in advance

Random number on SPO site attached to private channel
Hello, Background: I created a private channel called 'Finance' back in October 2020 and deleted it in Oct itself. I think I excluded the site '/sites/lg-finance' (lg is the Team name) in retention policy and deleted it as well. We never deleted the team if that helps to know. We were in the process of setting up a new architecture and was testing with different ways of setting up Teams and SP and Doc Lib. So, many teams and private channels were created and deleted, but I couldn't delete the private channel's sites even after excluding it in retention policy for some reason, Error: included in ediscovery hold or retention policy'. this started to happen by 1st week of Nov and we had way too many orphaned sites. But I was able to delete the site thats gets created with the team. Maybe it is working as per design. After 2 months with MS support, they said they will disable orphaned hold on the account and now I'm able to delete the orphaned site. Problem: The 'Finance' private channel we deleted back in oct, we need it back, so I recreated the channel but the site is getting a random number for every try. Never see it before as it was always in increments (I think). but '/sites/lg-finance' doesnt exist for the last 3 months and i believe it should be available already but unable to get the channel to create a site without random number at the end like '/sites/lg-finance79' '/sites/lg-finance97' etc I ran a powershell script to pull out all the site including modern team and group site and lg-finance doesnt exist. any suggestions and help?

Teams Free private channels - add members issue
Hi community, we are experiencing an issue with Teams Free (tenant created a few days ago). We created a Private Channel and we cannot add any members (sometimes after adding, the procedure ends but users is not added). New members (added specifying email address) receive an email confirmation with "Join" button: after clicking URL, Teams will starts but Private Channel is still not displayed. Just tried to create and re-create other Private Channels --> same results. What can we do to solve the problem? Please let us know. Thanks a lot for your cooperation, Stefano China [Tecnostrutture]
