Ability to add (copy/paste) a list of people to meeting
In outlook I'm able to copy-paste meeting participants from one meeting to another. In Teams I have to add them all manually. It's not convenient, could you please fix it somehow?

This is downright painful as a partner to have to tell user's they cant copy and paste between meeting with attendees. this should have been some day 1 functionality. other Microsoft apps communicate just fine.

None of the recent work-arounds work for me when creating a meeting in a Teams channel :(
In my case I have a pseudo-recurring meeting that I need attached to a Teams channel, but it doesn't occur at a set interval/time/date. Each time I create an instance of this Teams channel meeting, I have to re-enter the full list of names. So uselessly tedious!Please support this Microsoft.

In addition to the workaround from James Green : Login to https://outlook.office365.com with the same account as you logged into the teams app. Goto the calendar (icon on the left) and schedule a meeting. From here it is possible to paste your emailaddresses, seperated by a semicolon. After that, select 'More options', and set the switch 'Teams-meeting'.

+1 BTW: a workaround for channel meetings scheduled in Teams is going to the meeting in Outlook and forwarding it to (additional) participants. For normal meetings scheduled in Teams, go to the meeting in Outlook and add participants there.

This desperately needs to be fixed. Given the vastness of your profits and the brainpower being paid ridiculous sums of money, can something so simply not be fixed? It is a complete outrage and something that should have been built in from the start!

There is a WORKAROUND. If you make the meeting in Teams, and then go to your web calendar, you can paste the participants there, no problem. Just the Teams app that seems to have this problem

We must really get our leaders to stop investing in products with such poor functionality! Come on Microsoft - you can do so much better than this!?

I have TEAMS meetings twice a week with all 200 + of my students and every time I have to type, type, type them all in. Makes me want to give up on TEAMs Come on MS you should be better than this.

Same issue. I had to put in 30 student names every time we met. It's ridiculous!

I want to add my voice to this. It is hard to understand why this is not doable yet. I have to create occasional meetings with ~60 people invited and every time I have to do it manually.
I feel that implementing this basic and obvious functionality should have higher priority than many other things. -

Agree - not just inconvenient but a big missing piece of functionality.

This is so frustrating and makes no sense.
Either allow us to copy the addressee list or let us copy the meeting in the Teams calendar so that it can be modified in its new location. I can edit the original meeting, but that sends an Update rather than a new meeting request which also removes the original from the diary - not good when this is part of a governance element demonstrating frequency of meetings etc. -

I want them to join my team without me having to type in every email.

Can you copy the link from a team and send it in and outlook email to member to request to join a team?

There doesn't seem to be a simple 'I agree' or even a like button, so here's my narrative saying IT'S MORE THAN TIME YOU SORTED THIS, MICROSOFT — it's supposed to be professional-level software!
I'd also like to express my gratitude to those people in the comments who have posted a list of what they've tried so I don't have to waste even more of my time trying these things out for myself only to discover they don't work. Many thanks.

This is ridiculous. I thought I was doing something wrong. Now, I see, it's a huge fail from Microsoft. WTG Team.

How is this still a thing? The most basic of functionality, to copy and paste a list of email addresses to the invitee list of a Teams meeting and have it handle that, rather than treating the past and one single person with a massively long email address.
I've tried everything to format the list to make it treat it as separate people. Paste into notepad, ad commas and semicolons after each address, etc. Nothing Works.
Pretty disappointing Microsoft!

First time commenting on a Teams issue...this is one of the most frustrating. Fix now please!

It is highly inconvenient to have to manually enter names in for every single meeting. We have cohorts of new hires that need to be added to multiple events over the course of several months and it is incredibly time consuming.
