How to receive meeting responses for meetings scheduled within a channel?
LinusCansby I appreciate the response; unfortunately, it seems that when a attendee suggests a new time in Outlook for that meeting, their response goes to the 365 mailbox, so the Organizer (in this instance, myself) never sees the proposal for a new meeting time. Hopefully, there is coordination between the Outlook propose new time and the Teams propose new time features.

mike_gi This has been a very frustrating point. If we want to use channels as breakout rooms the easiest invite is from the team channel so folks are added to the team but you lose all responses accept accept or decline. Any easy fix i could convey to my org?
JustinWeintraub Unfortunately, I don't work for Microsoft, I just happened to notice the issue just as you did. It is possible this has been addressed, but I haven't revisited it in months. The only work-around I've come up with is to make sure everyone knows that responses to the meeting invite will not be seen, so any replies, such as suggestions for new meeting times, are best sent via email.
mike_gi This is ridiculous - Msft proposes Teams as an alternative to email, yet the most basic functionality is either missing or hidden. Seems obvious that if you create a team, you should be able to create events, notify all members (either email or some other way) and track responses - all from within Teams. Having to embed Outlook calendars etc in a Teams tab is possible but is an admission that Teams isn't yet fit for purpose.
- I am glad I stumbled upon this thread. Now have come across this constraint I cannot understand why Teams channel meetings exist without this basic functionality, a real oversight by MS
