Stop Emailing Everyone About a Channel Meeting
According to this feedback item this is completed but it is still happening: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/17285378-not-automatically-invite-the-whole-team-to-a-chann
I did find this blog post that describes how to turn it off: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/skypehybridguy/2018/01/06/why-do-i-receive-invites-to-channel-meetings-in-microsoft-teams-mystery-solved
Please change the defaults here. Channel meetings should default to NOT EMAIL EVERYONE.

They did change the default. If you create a new group/Team, it doesn't subscribe users to events by default.

This same topic was just brought to my attention today as a manager wanted to only invite 5 members of his 20 member team to a meeting. When he scheduled the meeting he thought he was only sending it to the 5 members but Teams sent it to all 20 users. Need to be able to schedule and invite ONLY the members of a channel and NOT the whole team.

I can't ask the entire team to change their settings as described in the blog post. My preferred solution would be to specify whom to invite - either specific people or the Team or Group.

Did I miss something? The blog post referenced above seems to be about controlling receipt of channel emails, not prevent them being sent to the whole team. If the above blog post does describe how to prevent channel invites being sent to the whole teams, please make it plain for me. Thanks!

Also, why is the group set as required in the meeting invite? They should be optional 😜
