Just want to say "thank you!" again to those who helped to restore this feature -
and to show another real-life use case i had almost a month ago:
Basically app was broken (due to 3rd party), fix was submitted for review/public-ation - but in the mean time i was able to use my "outage notification" routine to show explanation and offer the most impatient ones the option to try the private/beta.
The neat thing i noticed, now adding pvt channel from the player asks the user to type a pseudo-random PIN, i.e. the install is "human-assisted", can't be done by a blind script
