Calendar invite to team when scheduling channel meeting - not possible despite new teams feature?
Hi everyone, we want to create a channel meeting, and still have everyone on the team notified and getting a calendar invite via email. Apparently this is a new feature that was recently added, a...
- Hi, besides what has already been said about the "subcribers list" it sounds as if you need to verify the Set-UnifiedGroup -HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled
PowerShell may look intimidating but I'm sure you can figure it out together.
"The HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled parameter specifies whether the Microsoft 365 Group appears in the global address list (GAL) and other address lists in your organization. Valid values are:
$true: The Microsoft 365 Group is hidden from the GAL and other address lists. The group can still receive messages, but users can't search for or browse to the group in Outlook or Outlook on the web. Users also can't find the group by using the Discover option in Outlook on the web. For users that are members of the Microsoft 365 Group, the group will still appear in the navigation pane in Outlook and Outlook on the web if HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled property is NOT enabled.
$false: The Microsoft 365 Group is visible in the GAL and other address lists. This is the default value."
So, use the default which is $false

Hi, did you read this also? https://office365itpros.com/2020/10/21/update-teams-send-meeting-invitations-to-members/
There are differences if you have an exchange hybrid environment also. In that case a newly created team will act as following. Members with EXO will not receive invitations to a channel meeting unless explicitly invited. But all on-prem users will get the invite.
I would like to see a more controllable solution where the person that creates the meeting can chose which behavior the invite should have. I.e send invite to all team members/send invite to only chosen participants.
There are use cases for both behaviors. Some times I want to have the meeting within a channel in a big team but only need some to participate but obviously if any one in the team notices that the meeting is ongoing, the can join in. But more to the point I want the artifacts from the meeting to stay within the team itself.

- Hi Nlundqvist, can I just ask to make sure I understand your reply - what exactly are members with EXO and on-prem users?
kmobius EXO (Exchange Online) and Exchange on-premise. I.e you have users with mailboxes in the cloud and others having their mailboxes locally, on-premise in your own data center/exchange servers.
- Hi, never heard about the hybrid scenario tbh. More likely what group settings are enabled or not as the article explains. Ref.
