What the notice says

Microsoft’s text, with source markup removed
Updated July 20, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. Introduction We are expanding Microsoft Planner integration in Microsoft Teams by enabling Planner tabs in Shared and Private channels. This change allows teams to plan and track work directly within the channel where collaboration occurs, including scenarios that require restricted membership or cross-organization collaboration. Only basic plans are being made available in Shared and Private Channels. Premium capabilities will come at a later date. This message is associated with Roadmap ID 558928. When this will happen: General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout begins late August 2026 (previously late July) and is expected to complete by end of August 2026 (previously end of July). How this affects your organization: Who is affected: Microsoft Teams users working in Shared or Private channels Microsoft 365 administrators managing Teams and Planner What will happen: Users can add Planner as a tab in Shared and Private channels using the + (Add a tab) experience. Users can create a new plan for the channel or add an existing plan associated with that channel. Planner inherits channel permissions and Microsoft 365 compliance controls. Planner plans in shared and private channels will use the channel SharePoint for storage and access. Hence membership will be limited to channel members. The feature is enabled by default and requires no admin configuration. There is no change to Planner behavior in standard channels. What you can do to prepare: No admin action is required. Update internal Teams and Planner documentation. Inform users that Planner is available in Shared and Private channels. Review governance policies related to Teams and Planner usage.
