If an external sharing link is shared within a Teams private channel, ShareGate cannot detect that link and it is not displayed in ShareGate Protect.

A Teams private channel provides a focused space for collaborative work among a select group of people.

Due to the security settings of a Teams private channel, Microsoft does not allow for crawling and external sharing link detection in these private spaces.
