This command is listed in this document, which also links to this very same version (see the overview page). If the command is not contained within the version that you are documenting, then remove the command from the documentation. Otherwise, please provide a link to the module where this command is contained.

I have the same issue MicrosoftTeams Module version installed is 1.0.5, but the Add-TeamChannelUser' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

[isty1974]

Same issue for me, but channel doesn't have Group ID, it has own ID.
GroupId like this: 31f1ff6c-d48c-4f8a-b2e1-abca7fd399df
ID like this: 19:[email protected]
So, the paramater was incorrect.

[rlodev67]

This command is integrated in the preview module, not this one.
You have to install the one from "https://www.poshtestgallery.com/packages/MicrosoftTeams/1.0.21"
if you run the powershell command, be sure to add the repository before.

Hello everyone

Exactly, as the article says, the cmdlet is part of the PS INT gallery (beta module).

I can confirm that, installing the 1.0.21 version of the beta module, the cmdlet IS available:

In case it helps anyone, I had the same problem and in the end I managed to solve it using the MaximunVersion parameter instead of RequiredVersion.

[mrskaria]

I updated to the "current" version of the Teams module, however it still does NOT have the Get-TeamChannelUser included:

[get-itips]

hello @mrskaria you have to be running 1.1.5-preview to have *-TeamChannelUser cmdlets
More information https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-powershell-install
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-powershell-release-notes

[mrskaria]

Thank you for your quick response. I have tried to add that version to my powershell, but it does not like it.

[get-itips]

@mrskaria please try using " " double quotes while specifying the version.

[mrskaria]

It still does not like the -RequireVersion parameter

[get-itips]

@mrskaria Did you update PowerShellGet as the article I referenced says?

[mrskaria]

It allowed me to run the module install specifying the older version, however after disconnecting and reconnecting, it still still shows I am running v1.1.6. Ugh!

[get-itips]

Michelle, as the documentation says, you can only run one version of the module, so if you need to test the Preview version you would need to uninstall the 1.1.6 first.

For the best experience, use either General Availability (GA) or Public Preview modules - not both. They're not intended to work together.

Hope this gets you in the right direction.

[suoko]

Is PSGallery repo enough to enable this commandlet ?
I really need to add users to channels, can anyone write detailed instructions on how to proceed ?
Thanks

UPDATE
It looks solve with:
Uninstall-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams
Install-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams -RequiredVersion 1.1.5-preview -AllowPrerelease

[phild2015]

Same issue, I accidentally removed myself as owner of a private channel in Teams and could not add myself back. Here is what worked for me:

Deleted the current module for Teams (I had 1.1.6 installed) at C:Program FilesWindowsPowerShellModulesMicrosoftTeams

Installed version 1.1.3 with PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> Install-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams -RequiredVersion 1.1.3-preview -AllowPrerelease -force -Allo
wClobber

then imported the module

PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> Import-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams

then connected to Teams

PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> Connect-MicrosoftTeams

made sure the command was there with

PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> Get-Command

Then added myself to the channel first so I would be a member, then upgraded role to owner. Worked great, thank you!

[suoko]

Having Owner as the only role possible is not that practical.
Do we have a solution to add a user as a member ? What about using graph api to do this, would it be possible ?

If you do not specify -Role parameter, it will be added as regular user.

[suoko]

If you do not specify -Role parameter, it will be added as regular user.

Unfortunately no, it's not added at all.
I also noted another problem (minor in this case) with Public teams. You can't add a user to a channel if the user is not a Teams group member, I should add it as member first.

Sorry, I misread your original inquiry, as the cmdlet is still part of the public preview, it is subject to changes and testing, so in this case I would recommend to wait for the command to be available in the GA version of the module for the final version of it and also if you want to suggest changes to the cmdlet I would suggest uservoice, that way, it can reach the product team. Thank you!
