Hello, The user who created the environment left the organization. He is now registred as "deleted user" in O365 administration page. But he is still the only administrator of many private channels in Teams. How can I manage to become the new administrator ? I'm the ower of the group but don't succeed in becoming owner of the private (sub) channels. Thanks for your help.

Do you know who are the members of the private channel?
If a private channel owner leaves your organization or if they are removed from the Microsoft 365 group associated with the team, a member of the private channel is automatically promoted to be the private channel owner.
So, you can contact the members of the private channel and add you as a member. Then, the new owner can set you as owner.
For more information about private channel, please refer to this article: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/microsoftteams/private-channels.

I'm member of those private channels and I read that a member should automatically be promoted to proprietary but unfortunately it didn't happen and those channels are without any propriétary.
Any idea to solve this issue ?
Regards
Jean-Marie

I tested in my lab. This is not automatically promoted owner right now. I will wait up for some time to check if this feature can take effect.
As a workaround, you can log in to Microsoft Teams Admin Center > Teams > Manage teams > Click this team > in Channels tab: Click this private channel > Modify your role as owner.
