Support to host a meeting in a Private Channel
Hi there, I've setup a private channel in a Team for supervisors only. I'd like to "host" the regular staff meeting in the private channel, but i can only select "public" channels. Can Microsoft add the ability to host Team meetings within a private channel?

Being able to schedule a meeting and particularly re-occurring meeting within a private channel is a necessary feature which would help our organization to move fully over to Teams as our communicator of choice.

It is disappointing that I'm unable to schedule meetings through my private channels. The whole point of Teams is to be able to collaborate and keep everything in one place. This is preventing my ability to schedule collaboration time and have it connected with my Teams private channel, meaning things will be scattered.

This feature not being available is a massive disappointment.
We have a requirement to join a meeting and collaborate privately to other channels within the same team.
This is a big disruption and a feature that must be implemented. -

We have legal requirements for Ringfencing and the inability to schedule a meeting within a private channel seems a huge oversight as well as a disincentive to switch from Webex.

In my team we work on various projects. Some projects do not concern all team members. It would be nice if in a private channel we could manage the project team meetings. This feature would be very useful for large companies that have large work teams.

Full support for this from a University perspective. We need to run regular meetings with a small sub-set of students/lecturers and don't want to have to manually set up attendee lists. We have the functionality to Standard channels but don't want everyone to be notified and have the ability to join the meeting.

it would be fantastic to set up meetings in private channels as we end up resorting to using zoom as it can be scheduled and then go into the outlook diary. I use Teams for teaching at a university and we need locked channels for seperate project teams but there is sooooo many limitations it is putting people off using it.

From the angle of teaching institution it real essential to resolve inability to schedule invitation to private channel or some subgroup in Teams. I'm totally agree with Luis,

"This is quite necessary. I use teams for teaching, and large groups are broken in smaller ones for ineractive sessions. This sessions are scheduled and it does not make sense to call the meetings for those sessions in the public chanel. It is a nuissance to receive notifications of all subgroups meetings. The only option left is to make a separate group for every subgroup. Lacking the option to schedule meetings private channels become quite useless. You also make team management unnecessarily painful. I had to add members one by one, since my institution does not provide a distribution list that can be used in Teams, once I have the general group it si not possible to use that list to make the subgroups. Subgroup members have to be added again one by one. Awful!!"
