How to have tags in shared channels

Xia, Henry 0

Hi everyone,

In our organization, we have a Microsoft Teams setup with both shared and private channels, which we use to collaborate with external guests. We want to create tags for the shared channels, but since these channels were shared with a whole team rather than individual members, only I (as the owner) am showing up when trying to create tags.

Is there a way to create tags in this case? Could Power Automate help with this?

Thanks!

As the channels were shared with a whole team rather than individual members, no other members are showing up when trying to create tags. This seems to be by design.

Also, as per this documentation, Tag mentions aren't supported in shared and private channels.

Hi @Xia, Henry

As above said, You might not be able to create tags for shared channels in the same way you can for standard channels.

@JimmyYang-MSFT Yes...However, is there a way to create tags using PowerAutomate instead?
