Hello, 

Please am trying to add content types from our Content Type Hub for the SPO site of Private Channel.

While I can enable content types usage in document libraries I cannot see / add any content types from our content type hub.

The Issue does not occur on normal SPO sites. I noticed in Site Settings the private channel does not have the same options for Content Types & Term Stores.

Can you please advise how we go about enabling this functionality for Teams Private Channel SPO sites or if it is not supported.

Thank you

    Hi @IBN ,

    As per my test, I can also reproduce this on my end. From Library settings > Content Types > Add from existing site content types, I couldn't see any content types from our content type hub. Via the newly published feature Add column > Content type, I can see published content types from content type hub. But after selecting the published content types and adding them, errors appear which indicate that it is unable to add those content types. Give it a try in your end, Will there be the same situation as me on your side?

    Not sure if it is by design in Teams private channel connected SharePoint site or there is something wrong in the backend which is controlled by Microsoft. I cannot find any official documentation to prove it. From user's side, I am afraid there is no way to fix it. To make this clear, I would suggest new a service request in Microsoft 365 admin center to confirm it with experts there on this topic.

    This is caused by the fact that activation of certain Features is skipped when the site is created.

    The specific Feature necessary to support Managed Metadata columns is the culprit here; if your custom Content Types include a Managed Metadata column, they won't show up for adding to a library.

    What's more, it is a hidden Feature, so it cannot be activated from the Site Collection Features page and must be activated by other means.

    In PnP PowerShell, the command (to execute after connecting to the Private Channel site) is this:

    Enable-PnPFeature -Identity 73ef14b1-13a9-416b-a9b5-ececa2b0604c -Scope Site -Force
