When will the ability to add a private channel to Microsoft Teams be released?

Right now you can only create public channels.

hi @AndrewCitera  you can see it into the road map

I do not see it in the roadmap.

Are there are accepted workarounds? 

[ChristianAbata]

Shure you can by using API

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/teams/{teamID}/channels

{
  "@odata.type": "#Microsoft.Teams.Core.channel",
  "membershipType": "private",
  "displayName": "Private corner",
  "description": "This is for private content"
}

@ChristianAbata thank you that's extremely helpful. Can you explain how to procure Graph API credentials? 

Is there a way the HTTP request can piggyback off of credentials from Flow/Power Automate or do I need to register an Azure App and generate my own client id and secret? 

Right now I've been doing everything via Flow and the permissions are taken care of. When I do local PowerShell work I connect through my user account account and use PowerShell cmdlets - not the Graph API endpoint directily.

shure @AndrewCitera  please see this awesome post.
