When scheduling a meeting, send an invite to the entire Channel instead of Inviting each member manually.
Currently, when you create a new meeting you select the Channel to meet in and then have to type in each member to invite. I would like to just invite the entire Channel (so I don't have to type each member's name in) and each member get an outlook notification.

Teachers often need to set up different blocks (classes) of students in separate channels within the same Team. For example, a teacher may teach three to eight different classes of students a subject, each class with its own channel. The classes may work at a different pace or be entirely differentiated. The classes/channels need to meet with the teacher separately from the other classes/channels. We need to be able to set up meetings quickly and easily for separate channels so that classes/channels have separately called meetings! We don’t want to need to set up multiple teams for one subject; very confusing.

This feature is necessary for teams to be effective. As of now channel and team is useless for me.
I end up creating a new meeting everytim inviting same persons as my colleagues expect meeting invitation to show up in their calendar in outlook.

at LEAST give me the option to drop a semicolon-delineated string of email addresses into the invite field like I've been doing in Outlook for like 20 years.

I have spent at least an hour trying to invite a whole channel without having to invite everyone individually. It's distinctly odd that you can't do this.

Hello, is this thing working?

This is so obvious and so needed, it seems like this is more of a "bug" than an enhancement request.

I would be perfect to have this as an option when creating an invite if you want to send the notification/invite to the team members rather than it being an always or never situtation.

Yes we need this feature.
Microsoft should do the needful ASAP. -

voting yes - selecting a Team or channel within should invite everyone in Team/Channel

please add a feature to make meeting invites for the contact groups in the chat and as well add the feature to add all the members of the channel in a single click for a meeting invite.

As the name 'Microsoft Teams' suggests; inviting a whole team (or multiple Teams) to a Live Event should replace inviting people individually,which sounds more logical . Otherwise, the name could be
Microsoft Individuals'.... Sincerely.Yours -

Yes please. And add the same functionality for inviting a whole team (or multiple Teams) to a Live Event (scheduled from within Teams). You now have to add & select presenters one by one...

I agree - I would also like the option to switch members between required and option in the meeting (at the moment you need to delete them from one list and add them to the other list)

This is so essential that, if it is not addressed soon, it would be basis for my organisation moving to an alternative work collaboration platform - PLEASE fix this asap!

Not to mention that simply adding the channel to the meeting should automatically populate the "Scheduling Assistant".
Right now you need to manually add everyone to be able to find the most suitable time.

You should be able to put a Channel in the "To" line of a meeting invite and then Teams should send an email to all members of the Channel. When you need to invite a large group, sending the invite to yourself in Outlook then forwarding it to a group is simply a workaround.
