  2. Click the ‘Private’ toggle in the channel settings.
  3. Add members to the channel.

How to add a guest to a team workspace

Guest accounts

Guests can be invited to specific channels, either during channel creation, by editing an existing channel, or from workspace settings—and can post, comment, and interact within those channels. They can’t access any other channels unless invited, and they’re restricted from team-wide features like check-ins, team settings, creating channels, or seeing global member lists.
