Get attention from students only
Hello, Is there any way to get attention from students only with a "@" mention in a team which members are students and teachers ? I would suppose that a "@students" exits... Thanks !
Hi Arnaud BUNIET
Not currently. There is a uservoice available for exactly this right here

Would vote to push it up the agenda. Also, to raise this on any AMA that comes up in the future. This is a feature which would really enrich Teams where Slack has the ability to do this.
However, you could technically work around it by setting up a channel called students for the students, getting all students to favorite that channel and then @mention the channel

Whilst this is not optimal, it would mean that mentioning @students all students who have Favorited the channel would be notified. The downside is that this isn't easily governed and students can unfavourite the channel
Hope that answers your question!
