Adjusting invites to Teams channel meetings


Requirement. So I have a new topic to do work on, I create a channel in a relevant team.  I want to launch a series of meetings all relevant with public Records of Decisions etc but the audience varies from: Team leaders initial discussion, whole team launch brief, working group 1, 2, etc.  Teams has given me the tools to break down the community into relevant  @TAGS  that could be pulled in as required e.g. @Team Leaders. 

 

Issue.  However no matter who I specifically invite to a meeting in the channel the whole team is auto invited as well.  None of the meeting need to be fully private but I don't need to be cluttering people inboxes and inflating meeting sizes.  Also I don't want to create a new channel for each sub audience as that will disjoint the history of the topic in the channel.  

 

Question.  Why when I hold a meeting in the channel is the whole team invited when it seems sensible to to be able to vary the audience but still capture the meeting against the channel/topic? 

 

Suggested changes:

 

  • Show the channel email in the invite box to signify a mass invite.  
  • Then allow us to delete the channel email from the invite list to stop 'mass invites' 
  • Allow the use of Tags (for the relevant group) in meeting invites held in a channel.

    That's the beauty of opening a ticket in Uservoice, Niall_McPherson   It give other users the chance to vote on your suggestions, which is a way to communicate with the development team.  I encourage you to do that and post the link back here.

     

  • Hello Niall_McPherson    Thank you for your comments.  Our Uservoice feedback forum is the place to note feature suggestions or report bugs.  But I'm sure others in the community might have a response.

     

    I will say that channel meetings are for that purpose - making the whole channel aware of the meeting.  If you don't want to invite the channel, you can create a meeting in the calendar and just invite the people required.
