Understanding private channels
A private channel has pretty much the same functionalities as a standard channel. The main differences between the two are the dedicated SharePoint site collection and special permissions for each private channel that are not inherited from the team.
A site collection on SharePoint is a container for a group of sites, files, or pages that has its own permissions. A site collection starts with a top-level site and can contain other subsites underneath.
A private channel scenario: Geno, the basketball coach
Geno is a college basketball coach who uses Microsoft Teams to manage everything related to his team. He has created several channels inside his team that are publicly available to athletes, coaches, and staff members. Geno likes to keep information centralized for better management and faster access, so he is looking for a solution that allows him to discuss and share private information with his assistant coaches.
