Creating MS Teams without a meeting
Hi, I am setting up a schedule for a number of online sessions for July. These sessions will be online support sessions for students, they can just log in if they need any support. I have the schedule now nearly complete and just want to create links what we can send out to students, but I don't really want these all appearing in my calendar, and I won't be attending them myself. Is it possible for me to set up these links, and send it out to the academic(s) and the students? If I click on the +New Meeting, it will set up the meeting in my outlook calendar as well, and if I click on the Meet Now, I can't set up the dates×. Thank you.
Add Group Chat As A Channel
Hi all, I am wondering if there is a way to make a channel in a team that behaves the same as a group chat. I understand the advantages and disadvantages of conversations vs chats. Basically I like having conversation for work related things, the threads are good for organizations etc. At the same time I would prefer having a channel for general chit chat that behaves like a group chat (with the reply behavior of a chat and the general flow of a chat.) Yes I could just make a group chat that has the same members as my team but it is less comfortable to continuously go between the Teams tab and the Chats tab, and also inviting members to both the Group and the Chat can be annoying when there are many of them. Is there a way to do this that I missed?

Is there any foreseen capabilities in Team's channel which could act as a forum ? So, create a Forum channel type would be perfect, and here is why: 1. Within Teams, it is commonly to find use-cases where a community drops some issues, questions and so on, and being able to : - pin discussions/communications - set tags and filter them - Mark as solved (which may help others, and save ans best answer) sort based on people following would be a perfect integrations. looking forward to see the answers.
How to see late turn in info AFTER returning student work
As the title says. I recently returned some assignments and after doing so cannot now find out the turn in information anymore. It was really helpful to have a record of who turned in late but the insights wasn't giving me a summary of the student scores but did tell me how late the assignments were(It would not even tell me if they were late, everything just marked as returned). After returning them I get the scores but not how late they were. Is there a way to see both or should I just not return assignments?
Where do I find the messages I sent through "Share to Outlook from Teams"
On 3/20 I forwarded a chat message to several people using the "Share to Outlook from Teams" feature available in the horizontal ellipse menu for that message. Today I was going through my notes and realized I never received a response from the person the message was directed to so I looked in my Outlook Sent box for the message to follow up on it. It was not there. Even more confusing, there is no indication in Teams that the message was sent. Embarrassingly I had to ask one of the "Cc" recipients to forward it back to me so I could follow up with the "To" person I needed to. This confirms the message did go out. Just to make sure this wasn't a one-time thing my buddy used the "Share to Outlook from Teams" feature on a Teams conversation we had. I received his email, and just like me he had no trace the message was sent. Where do you go to find your messages sent through the "Share to Outlook from Teams" feature?Trying to Mimic Slack Experience
Hey Team, I'm migrating from Slack and trying to recreate some of the UI experiences in Teams. One hassle so far is that in Slack my chats are automatically alphabetized, and unread chats appear atop the read chats, also alphabetized. Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't appear that Teams has an alphabetized default view for chats. This makes finding older chats quite difficult since they are all out of order rather, than being able to scroll to a persons name really quickly like in Slack based on the alphabet. Does anyone have a solution?How To Add Co Organizers To A Microsoft Teams Meeting

Enabling Microsoft Teams Room for Meeting Forwarding and Adding External Parties
Hello Microsoft Community, I hope you are all doing well! I'm reaching out with a query related to Microsoft Teams Rooms and some specific functionalities we are trying to enable. We are looking for guidance on how to allow all users to forward meetings and add external parties to our Microsoft Teams Rooms. Our organization has recently adopted Microsoft Teams Rooms to enhance collaboration and communication, but we've encountered some challenges in configuring these rooms to meet our specific needs. We have two primary requirements: 1. Meeting Forwarding: We want all users to have the capability to forward meetings scheduled in our Microsoft Teams Rooms to other team members. This feature is important for flexibility and ensuring that meetings are effectively managed. 2. Adding External Parties: Additionally, we want to enable the ability to add external parties (e.g., clients, partners) to our Microsoft Teams Room meetings via forwarding the email. This is crucial for our external collaborations and ensuring seamless communication. We've been exploring the Teams admin settings and documentation, but we haven't been able to find clear instructions on how to achieve these objectives. Has anyone successfully configured their Microsoft Teams Rooms to enable these features? If so, could you please share your insights, guidance, or any steps that worked for you? We would greatly appreciate any assistance or advice you can offer. Your experience and expertise would be invaluable in helping us make the most of Microsoft Teams Rooms for our organization. Thank you in advance for your contributions and support! Best regards, UtsavP
