    Use Microsoft Graph, depending on whether direct members only or all channel members are needed:

    • Direct members only: GET /teams/{team-id}/channels/{channel-id}/members
      • Returns members of standard, private, and shared channels.
      • For shared channels, this returns direct members only.
    • All members: GET /teams/{team-id}/channels/{channel-id}/allMembers
      • Returns all members in a channel.
      • For shared channels, this includes:
        • Direct members added directly to the channel
        • Indirect members from teams with which the channel is shared

    Important details:

    • A bearer token is required in the Authorization header.
    • allMembers supports $filter and $select query parameters.
    • On shared channels, only a user who is a member of the shared channel can retrieve the channel member list from the members API.
    • Membership IDs must be treated as opaque strings.

    Example HTTP request for all members:

    GET /teams/{team-id}/channels/{channel-id}/allMembers
Authorization: Bearer {token}

    Example full Graph URL:

    GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/2ab9c796-2902-45f8-b712-7c5a63cf41c4/channels/19%3A20bc1df46b1148e9b22539b83bc66809%40thread.skype/allMembers

    If using the Microsoft Graph SDK for C#:

    var result = await graphClient.Teams["{team-id}"].Channels["{channel-id}"].AllMembers.GetAsync();

    Required least-privileged permissions:

    • Delegated (work or school account): ChannelMember.Read.All
    • Application: ChannelMember.Read.Group

    Hello @Wendelöv, Vandana (Vino) (V.)

    To export the list of members from a Microsoft Teams channel, administrative access is required. Currently, there is no built-in feature that allows a Team owner to directly export channel members, and the Teams Admin Center does not provide an option to export channel membership lists.

    As a workaround, the member list can be exported using Microsoft Teams PowerShell and it would require the Microsoft Teams administrator.

    Please follow these steps:

    • Install the Microsoft Teams PowerShell module (if it is not already installed):Install-Module MicrosoftTeams -Scope CurrentUser
    • Connect to Microsoft Teams:
      Connect-MicrosoftTeams
    • Retrieve the Group ID of the Team by running: Get-Team Alternatively, the Group ID can also be obtained from the Microsoft Entra Admin Center under Groups > All groups.
    • Export the channel members by running: Get-TeamChannelUser -GroupId "<GroupID>" -DisplayName "<Channel Name>" | Export-Csv "C:\Temp\TeamMembers.csv" -NoTypeInformation
    • Please replace:
    • <GroupID> with the Team's Group ID from the previous step.
    • <Channel Name> with the exact display name of the channel.

    The export file path (C:\Temp\TeamMembers.csv) can be changed to any location of your choice.

    I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you need any assistance with the PowerShell commands or encounter any errors while running them.
