This question is for AbhijatKanade about Microsoft Teams.
I can´t fully understand the purpose of using an email address for a specific team chat (xxxxxxx@amer.teams.ms). I use it to register outlook messages in the chat related to it, but I still have to include all email address in the messages. For me, this particular feature would make it easier to send outlook messages to all members of the team, or to schedule meetings in outlook that include all members of the team, etc. It woul be a wonderful shortcut and a perfect integration between both apps.
I use if to consolidate information. For example, I watch threat intelligence and developed 5 primary sources for my team to see. Prior to this, once a month, an engineer would come to me and ask what sites I recommend for threat intelligence.
I just subscribed 5 lists to one folder so everyone can see. Perhaps you do marketing and watch to subscribe top 10 competitor newsletters, so you can do marketing research. Or you are in sales and watch to subscribe to your clients newsletters, to see what they are up to (instead of Google Alerts or similar).
Best part is it goes into a Team channel and NOT interspersed with ALLLLLLL the other email to sift through.- ArunDas

Hey Ramon, thanks for your question. Are you looking for the email address of the Team? Each team is backed by M365 group. If you are an admin you can find the email address of the group backing the team using following steps. Login to Office 365 portal. Go to Office 365 Admin Center. Select Teams admin center. Click on Teams, select Manage teams and click on your team. You will get the email address of the team. Happy to help with the specifics of the scenario.
AbhijatKanadeThank you for the question, Ramon. The email address linked to a Teams channel is designed to allow “forwarding” a conversation from email to Teams. This can either help move an email conversation to Teams for faster collab (if all e-mail recipients are in the Teams channel you’re forwarding to) or allow your team to review and collaborate in Teams on something shared via email. You can find more information about the feature here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/tip-send-email-to-a-channel-2c17dbae-acdf-4209-a761-b463bdaaa4ca along with a short video. Could you provide more details on your recommendation for scheduling meetings in Outlook that includes all members of a Team?- Are you aware if MS is going to expand on the functionalities of this feature? I would say that if the only purpose of having a team´s channel email is to forward messages from Outlook, its a small adition to Teams - Outlook integration.
