Solution: private channels do not show up when scheduling a meeting because you cannot schedule meetings in private channels - that is a current limitation along with adding certain apps like planner. This is under review per the uservoice here

    ChrisHoardMVP I appreciate I'm coming to this conversation 3 years on - the link above gave me an error. I have a related issue but haven't been able to find answer elsewhere (yet). When I open a new invite in Outlook Calendar, and select Teams meeting, the option to select a Channel does not appear. I would love this option so that the appointment (and recording) automatically appear in the Channel.
    I would also love it if I could invite everyone in a Channel, without having to add each name separately. I have tried scheduling the meeting from the Channel in Teams and using the email for the channel in Outlook but then you can't see people's free time. I can log as separate query if that helps.
