External participants can't view Chat & Poll in Channel Meeting
Hello, We are hosting Townhall using MS Teams. Wherein employees from 2 different Office365 tenants (for example - domain1.com, domain2.com ) joins the call. Since the Teams call was scheduled ...

As opposed to a channel meeting, set the meeting as a private meeting (non channel specific) and then the attendees should be able to see the chat and polls given they are joining from Teams. If you need it specifically to be a channel meeting then add them as guests and get the external attendees to switch into domain1.com's tenant then this should work
Let me know how it goes, but hope this answers your question
Best, Chris

Hello Chris,
Thank you for your reply and guidance.
When you say "private meeting (non channel specific)" - Do you mean to say MS Teams meeting scheduling using Outlook Calendar or You are referring to any other settings.
The only reason to opt for Channel based Townhall was -
* keeping all the content at one place
* Getting the option of Chat & Poll for Domain1.com & Domain2.com, however Domain2.com had to switch their profile to join this Townhall and not everytime the joining works well and lot many time MS Teams freeze.
Looking forward to your inputs and willing to explore that option, as options not working during Townhall becomes highly embarrassing.
Regards
Bharat
