Is there a way to verify that Outlook invites were sent to all Team members for a channel meeting?
We have a leader in our org that schedules channel meetings in a Team with ~145 members. The group associated with this Team is configured to "Send copies of group conversations and events to group members" which, if I understand correctly, should send an Outlook invite to all members of that Team. When this user creates the channel meeting from his Teams calendar, he leaves the "Add required attendees" field blank and adds ONLY the channel in which the meeting takes place. However, he's concerned that these invites are not being sent to all members because in the Tracking section of the meeting details within the channel, there are only accepted/tentative/declined statuses for a small subset of Team members (which are listed under Optional). I had thought maybe that this gets updated as members RSVP but I did also see a user with an Unknown reservation which makes me question my hypothesis. Is there a way for me as an admin to confirm that these channel meeting invites are getting sent to members' Outlook inboxes without having to send out some kind of poll to verify whether or not they received those invites?
Copilot meeting recap/summary not working with channel meeting
The meeting recap function from copilot seems not to work with channel meetings. We arrange meetings through teams channels, but meetings from channels to not have the meeting recap function as in regular meetings. After the meeting is over, we are not able to use the copilot for these transkripts and meetings. How can we solve this issue? Is this on purpose from MS?Controlling Who Receives Invitations to Teams Channel Meetings
Teams channel meetings belong to a channel, but who receives the invitations for these meetings? The answer is “it depends” – on group settings and options. The underlying Microsoft 365 group might have a subscriber list of users who want to receive email for new events like meetings or the user might choose to send invitations to everyone. We discuss the mechanics and explore a way to schedule meetings in shared and private channels too. https://office365itpros.com/2023/09/08/teams-channel-meeting-invites/Scheduling Channel Meetings with the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK
Channel meetings are a type of meeting specifically intended for channel members to attend. Creating normal meetings is easy, but can you create channel meetings with the Graph API? As it turns out, you currently cannot. The suggested workaround is to create a normal (private) meeting and then post the details of that meeting in the channel for channel members to see. That doesn't make the meeting show up in the channel calendar, but at least you can meet. https://practical365.com/channel-meeting-powershell/
