Scheduling Meetings in Private Channels
Hi,
Can anyone confirm this this works, or indeed doesn't? I can't seem to schedule meetings into Private Channels, but can't find if this should actually work.
Thanks,
- Hi sp-jmglade
Currently, you can't schedule meetings in private channels.
As stated in the article
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/private-channels
We're continually adding capabilities to private channels so check back for the most up-to-date information regarding apps, channel meetings, and scaling private channels for large teams
You can however do meet now's in private channels
Hope that answers your question!
Best, Chris
sp-jmgladeEssentially, we're asking for meetings for sub-teams of the main team. If only we could define sub-teams, we could then have channels on those.
- Another vote for this feature. Also you can't add planner to private channels. Why all doesn't private channels have the same functionality of public channels??
Microsoft, please get this done ASAP.
It is a no brainer feature that needs immediate implementation.
Clear value for work and school teams and likely for others.
This is such an obvious and critical functionality that I really cannot understand why it is not implemented. In my University we have integrated Teams with our information system in such a way that we have one Team per course (we have more the 6 thousand courses each year) and then have private channels within each Team for each class. A course can have multiples classes each one with different students and different schedules...
Not to be able to schedule meetings (classes) in a practical manner, within a private channel, is a really serious setback that can jeopardize our adoption of Teams until this issue is solved.
+1 on this functionality!! sp-jmglade ChrisHoardMVP
Of incredible value for both education and support staff. Please prioritize this feature! Even if it is not possible to switch between private and public settings for the meeting: just being able to create a meeting with private channel is a much needed feature.
MS Teams, help us out here!
sp-jmgladeWe start a meeting in a privat channel; create meeting; copie link and send link to participants and use this meeting for al. not realy nice, but works
sp-jmglade Here a place to vote for scheduling meetings in private channels.
- I voted! Thanks for sharing the link
sp-jmglade There is a great article about this.
This is a great solution:
How to schedule a meeting in a private channel of Microsoft Teams? - Microsoft 365 Education (sergeykhrushchev.com)Basically:
Get the e-mail from the private channel
Plan a recurrence meeting in the main channel
As participants: paste the private channel e-mail (DO NOT ENTER OTHERS!)
Remove the channel from the invite (Team-Name --> Main channel name)Save
- I see how that works - it achieves the meeting but I can't then edit the post to make it look like a tidy meeting. I'll still use this for now on occasion though - thank you! 🙂
Please, please, please, please, please, Microsoft. Can you make this happen, it would make life in our organisation so much simpler than using the very clunky and time consuming work arounds.
Thank you 🙂
And if it's really that impossible; let us know. (Hard to see why it's impossible, but who knows)
Everyone--please vote for this feature in the user forum! Here's the link: EDU: Enable private channels to schedule meetings
Maybe the more upvotes will get them moving on it. Silly not to have it available.
