How to add a Channel in Teams (for Desktop and iOS)
Create a standard channel
To create a standard channel, start in the team list. Find the team name and select More options 
> 
Add channel. You can also choose Manage team and then add a channel in the Channels tab.
You can create up to 200 channels over the life of a team. That number includes channels you create and later delete.
Create a private channel
If you want a focused place to discuss sensitive information such as budgets, resourcing, strategic positioning, and so on, create a private channel for your team.
Only owners or members of the private channel can access it. To understand who can view what in a private channel, see Private channels in Teams.
You can create up to 30 private channels over the life of a team.
Note: Your admin can change this permission and limit private channel creation to certain roles.
To create a private channel for a team:
Go to the team you want to create the private channel for and select More options 
>

Enter a name and description for your channel.
Under Privacy, select the down arrow on the right, and then choose Private – Specific teammates have access.
Select Create to add the private channel to the team.
Add members to a private channel
