Best practice for large invites
ChristianBergstrom Thank you for taking the time to respond. It takes people like you to jump in on these questions to get to the answers and spread the knowledge. On or just off the mark, it's all about the communication and collaboration.
Thank you.
NickIV Hey! No worries, and thank you! I try to assist whenever I can but sometimes you just don't understand or read to fast about different scenarios when having several other things at mind (such as a full time employment). To answer your questions to Steven I believe he's referring to finding a suitable time and then invite the channel (perhaps you'll get an answer from him as well). See the link below for more info!

More context.... I have my Team "Stretch & Flex" and I have my Channel "Stretch & Flex Invitations." I have an announcement with an invite for the morning session and one for the afternoon session. So far so good?
The suggestion is to now invite my organization (size does not matter) to the Team "Stretch & Flex" and then within the invitations invite the same organization that I invited to join the team. By doing this I will get:
- Everyone in my org will be invited to the Team
- Everyone in my org will get separate calendar invites to both morning and afternoon sessions. These calendar invites can be accepted or declined but if accepted will be placed on their outlook calendar as a placeholder and if enabled reminders will apply.
- Everyone in my org (regardless of size) will be able to join the chat even though the number of people who can join any one call will be limited to 250 people.
Do you suggest a joint channel like I created for the calendar invites or do you suggest splitting the invites in to two separate channels?
I'm open to any other suggestions.
Thank you in advance,
