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

What's the point if you can't schedule meetings?

https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/599053-schools-and-universities/suggestions/39112060-ability-to-schedule-meetings-in-private-channelsThere is a workaround using the email address of the private channel to schedule from Calendar in Teams https://youtu.be/K00yvnFZEq0
glennhurlowZA Yes, that will work as long as the admin hasn't disabled the "Allow users to send emails to a channel email address" in Teams Admin Center, then the "Get email address" won't be there.
You could also start a Meet in the private channel, get the join link, close the meeting, copy and paste the join link into a meeting invitation (either in Teams or Outlook), if using the former you'll need to adjust the automatically created Teams link.
