Diving into the Details of Microsoft Teams Shared Channels
A year after announcing Teams shared channels, Microsoft is preparing to release the code into public preview in March 2022.

You'll need to configure a cross-tenant access policy to allow shared channels to work externally. Once that's done, the collaboration floodgates open.
