Azure DevOps integration with Private Channels of Microsoft Teams

I have connected Microsoft Teams with my Azure DevOps organisation. Azure DevOps option appears under the conversation textbox in public channels, but it does not appear under the private channels. Is Azure DevOps integration not available for private channels or are there any additional actions required to enable this?

As of October 2024, integrating Azure Boards into a private Teams channel is still not possible. You can add a dashboard as a tab to the private channel, but you can't enable in-channel notifications/actions.

To create private channels in Microsoft Teams, you could following below steps:

  1. Go to the team you want to create the private channel for and choose More options More options button > Add channel.
  2. Enter a name and description for your channel.
  3. Under Privacy, select the down arrow on the right, and then select Private – Accessible only to a specific group of people within the team.
  4. Select Add. This adds a private channel to the team.

You could check this thread Create a channel in Teams for some more details.

Important, as the document Private channels in Microsoft Teams stated:

By default, any team owner or team member can create a private channel. Guests can't create them. The ability to create private channels can be managed at the team level and at the organization level. Use policies to control which users in your organization are allowed to create private channels. Once you've set the policies, team owners can turn off or turn on the ability for members to create private channels in the Settings tab for a team.

So, if you could not create or update the private channels, you need make sure you are the team owner or team member of the team instead of Guests.
