Niall_McPherson Hey there - awesome, I want to read your question but somehow your link is not fully visible. So I can't read your post. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

my suggested changes were:
Show the channel email in the invite box to signify a mass invite.
Then allow us to delete the channel email from the invite list to stop 'mass invites'
Allow the use of Tags (for the relevant group) in meeting invites held in a channel.- sebastiankleinNov 09, 2020Copper Contributor

I think Niall_McPherson's question is very relevant. My company switched to Teams this year, and this is my biggest complaint. I feel that I should be able to set up a meeting with some members of a Team Channel, without ALL the members getting an invitation.
Regarding the response I've seen to this issue that if I want if I want to meet with only some of a Team Channel's members I should set up a regular, non-channel, meeting - the problem with this approach is that if a meeting is set up outside of the channel, there is no remotely easy way to associate that separate meeting with the channel.
I am coming against this scenario again and again:
- I have a topic to discuss that is solidly related to a Team Channel
- Not all team members need to be included in the conversation
- BUT it is important to have the fact that the meeting took place, as well as any meeting materials to be associated with the channel
Not being able to easily restrict who in a channel receives an invite as extraordinarily disruptive; scheduling a channel related meeting outside of a channel stands contrary to the intent of being able to easily share and communicate information to the channel members.
Having the option to have a setting on a Team level (on a channel level ideally) NOT to have all channel members become automatically optional attendees in any meeting that is scheduled in a channel in which they are members would strike a nice balance between communication/transparency and not being overwhelmed by not quite relevant information.
