How to receive meeting responses for meetings scheduled within a channel?
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
I'm shocked people had this conversation so long time ago already. The same issue is still there and no improvement from MS implemented yet. Still, Teams is not ready for the real world. Frustratingly, this seems to be standard with MS products (Loop, New Outlook, etc.).
- Agreed Matt.
<supportiverant>The lack of this integration renders channel meetings pointless - you have to do so much heavy lifting yourself, there's no benefit. Then all my users continue having Teams meetings outside the team, and have trouble finding assets associated with the meeting. It's a data/knowledge management/adoption backwards step. Grrr.
I'm experimenting with changing the settings in the underlying O365 Group for everyone to get all notifications that come to the group inbox. It's manageable with a project team of 6, but not at scale. .
