Hi TonyRedmond
Great new feature and I am testing it out for our company before releasing to our users.
I would like to create meetings within the channel but I do not want all of the members in the team to get a notification or invite to the meeting.
One thing that I don´t understand is that even if I specify a set of persons within the team under the required attendees in the meeting invite, it still gets sent too all of the members in the team.
Is there a way of making this work?
Thanks!

fransthomas Sounds like the Microsoft 365 group settings for subscribers is set to send information about new events to all group (team) members. See https://office365itpros.com/2020/03/31/invitations-teams-meetings/ and https://office365itpros.com/2020/10/21/update-teams-send-meeting-invitations-to-members/. If this is the case, you'd simply clear the subscriber list for the group and no one will receive invitations to channel meetings unless they are explicitly invited.

TonyRedmond I like the new Calendar app, but I want to be able to add an event and NOT have it send a meeting request via Outlook to everyone in the channel. In my case, there a few people on the team who I would add to the meeting invite, but it would be optional for the rest of the team. I would like them to know about it in Teams, so they can attend if interested - even add themselves to the meeting request if they desire - but I don't want a meeting request going to them in Outlook.
Based on this comment - "you'd simply clear the subscriber list for the group and no one will receive invitations to channel meetings unless they are explicitly invited." - it sounds like this is possible, but I don't understand how to do it (I'm not an Admin). If this is possible, can you provide information on how to enable it, which I can pass along to our Admins?

MMiller1388 Did you find the answer to this as I'm trying to figure out how to remove the subscribers from the list as well?
