Adding Planner to New Channel

Hello Sena!
Here’s how you can add Planner to a specific channel in Microsoft Teams—not just the General channel:

Go to the Channel: Open the desired team in Microsoft Teams and click on the specific channel (not the General one).

Add a Tab: Click the "+" (plus) sign at the top of the channel to add a new tab.

Select Planner (Tasks by Planner and To Do): From the list, choose “Planner” (it may show as “Tasks by Planner and To Do”).

Create or Add an Existing Plan: You can either create a new plan or add an existing one.

Save: After adding, Planner will appear as a tab within that channel.

Note: If this option does not appear or is disabled, your organization’s Teams settings or permissions may restrict adding Planner to multiple channels. In this case, contacting your IT admin may help.

As seen in recent video guides, this feature is available, but permissions or recent policy changes can sometimes impact availability.

Hello Sena!

Thank you for your detailed message and for sharing your screen.

If you do not see Planner as an available option when trying to add it to your second channel, here are a few things you can try:

Check Permissions: Sometimes, Teams or Planner app permissions are restricted by your IT department. Ensure you have the permissions needed to add apps to channels.

Update Teams: Make sure your Microsoft Teams app is up-to-date. Outdated versions might not display all available options.

Check Organization Policy: Some organizations restrict Planner to certain channels or teams. You might want to reach out to your IT admin to verify if any policies are preventing this.

Try Another Channel: Sometimes, Planner may appear in some channels but not others due to channel type or configuration. Try creating a new standard channel and see if Planner appears there.

Browser vs Desktop App: If you’re using the browser version of Teams, try the desktop app (or vice versa) to see if the result changes.

Log Out and Login Again: Occasionally, logging out and back in or clearing Teams cache resolves such issues.

If none of these steps work, providing your IT support team with details (and the screenshot you mentioned) will help them investigate any back-end policy or permission issues.

Best Regards,

Jerald Felix
