Difficulties Creating Private Channels in Microsoft Teams Powershell

Question

After reinstalling Microsoft Teams and Powershell, I am still left with this error:

After running in Powershell ISE, I've noticed that the required module to use the -MembershipType Parameter is not imported

How does one go about importing this package so I can set private channels in MicrosoftTeams
Thanks again

Answer 1

As mentioned in the documentation, you need the PREVIEW module for that parameter:

If you're using the PowerShell steps in this article to manage private channels, you must install and use the Teams PowerShell public preview module from the PowerShell Gallery. For steps on how to install the module, see Install Microsoft Teams PowerShell. The latest General Availability Teams PowerShell module doesn't support managing private channels.

Get it here: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/MicrosoftTeams/1.1.3-preview

Answer 2

According to the current documentation those commands are only available in the private preview version, not in the public general or preview releases. However they are actually available in the 1.15-preview version.

The following should get you going
Install-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams -RequiredVersion 1.1.5-preview -AllowPrerelease -AllowClobber

Hi！

I also agree with michev! You need to install Teams module for PowerShell.
