Easy, streamlined, way to invite all of the team to a meeting
Please design an easy, streamlined way to invite the whole team to a meeting and not have to invite them individually or in a workaround way such as creating meetings in Teams with no users. This could be something like an everyone button in Outlook to add all team members, or when inviting in teams adding an everyone button and it sends all members an invite. This is being requested through the Tech Community

Is this feature already on the roadmap?

And also the possibility to import addresses out of an excel-sheet please.

Should be noted that you can copy and paste a list of contacts into Outlook and they will reslove as individuals, even this would be a good start in Teams Calendar

Another user here that can't believe this is an issue. It seems like you should be able to use the @Team function to quickly select everyone for the given team although even that seems ridiculous when you select to schedule a meeting within an existing team channel.

Please make this a priority so that our professors can easily distribute a Teams session link and password to our students.

I'd like to see this extended so that if I am a Project Manager and my Project is in Project Online for example, from the Project Center I could simply right click the project and have the option of inviting the entire team of resources in that Project Team to a Teams meeting. Wouldn't that be cool ?

Please add this feature as a priority because it's frustrating, time wasting and not logical having to add individuals each time we are setting up meetings.

Also this is key to be able to use Scheduling Assistant to find the right time for this meeting in the first place!

I've also spent a long time trying workarounds suggested by other users, to no avail.

Its been several years since the community requested this feature. When you have a lot of people to invite to a meeting this is a very very tedious job. I feel that I lose time from my life.

I'd recommend to add a "Schedule meeting" button on the bottom of the team's chat, as it is there for individual chats already.

@MicrosoftTeams, this would be a major plus to a fairly decent tool. Inviting entire teams to a meeting would be a home run for you and for us!

I have to schedule meetings that involves people from different departments or Teams, that means the people is not part of a single team and I have to add them manually every time. And It's not possible to get the invited list from a previous meeting and copy and paste to the new one. How is this possible? manually adding 50 people each time. Really this is not user friendly. Please add the functionality

I'm completely flabbergasted that we can't do this in Teams right now!

Wow - I can't believe it's really an issue and not my lack of knowledge. Seriously have to individually add each person. Ugh.

Agreed. This is such a pain with large teams. I need a way to include all participants easily. Why can't you add a team or private channel. Contact Groups you set up don't work. Not even tags work.

By not including this feature you are driving customers to other platforms. Please behave like customer-oriented corporation (oxymoron?) and react quickly to fix this.

IF there is a way yo invite a whole team to a meeting it is not intuitive. If there is not a way- what else could you possibly be working on that is more important?

Yep - why can't we @TeamName to add everyone just like in a new channel comment.
