[BUG] Unable to access private channel information and older chats about embeddedchat HOT 2 CLOSED

Hey @abhinavkrin , I would like to work on this issue as discussed, I feel that the problem arises because the API used to fetch channel information is /api/v1/channels.info, which can't retrieve the information of private channels. To fetch information of private channels, the API /api/v1/rooms.get or /api/v1/groups.info has to be used. Also, we can use the /api/v1/groups.${query} endpoint to fetch messages and get roles for private channels(groups).The suggested approach is to use both APIs in combination to handle both kinds of channels. Let me know about the approach that you think could be taken to fix this.
