Team Owners should have an option to disable "meet now" in selected Channels.
Meet now can be disabled at Tenant level or User level currently. Need to have option in channel settings. Team owners can disable or enable it as required.

This would be great. It really sucks that in channels where we have restricted only Owners to posting, or where we have turned on moderation, that any can still purposefully or accidentally create channel meetings inside that channel. It kind of defeats the purpose and, since you can't fully clean-up or delete all the messages - or cancel the meetings if you didn't organize them, it clogs up the channel with garbage. This seems like it should be a pretty easy feature to implement..

Strongly agree. Some kind of safety button/confirmation prompt would be really welcome here

This would be a very helpful change, as we have a Team with 3000 members (used for user support). Accidental meetings in these channels occur several times a week, so the option to disable "meet now" for this Team or specific members would help!

This feature is urgently needed. You will soon be increasing the numbers of users who can be included within a Team. We currently have a Team with over 2000 in it as a support pathway for the organisation but this will increase 3 fold in the near future, we are having to weight up the risks Vs the benefits of using Teams in this way because of the inability to prevent meetings being sent from this channel (or including it within invites to meetings). Given the nature of some of the work being done by our org this could lead to some very serious consequences. We need to be able to turn this off now.

This feature would definitely be useful in our organisation where we have large teams where many people are sent notifications when a meeting is started by accident, or someone wants to test something.

Team owners must have the option in the channel settings so that they can disable or enable meet now as required. Or in global settings, it should have an option to choose individual team and disable meet now for that particular team.

We have the same issue , where some one selecting Meet now in a channel and 700+ users in a division get a request, it would be good to disable at the Team level rather then Tennant level.

I just have someone invite all 3600 people of my company to a meeting by mistake by pushing MeetNow in an OrgWide team, and I have no way of preventing them doing it again without disabling it in all Teams across the board, so I second this.

The ability to schedule a channel meeting should also be controllable in settings or by moderator.

Very interested in this... have seen a few blowups as outlined in other comments.

We have somehow, quite accidentally (and quite happily, I might add!), disabled this function in two teams. Those teams show "Org" instead of "Team" in the upper right portion of the window. We don't know how we flipped that switch, and we are trying to figure that out. If I do so, I will post an update here for others to try.

Microsoft, please fix this. We just added 2,500 users to a team today, and the very first thing some confused users did was to do a MeetNow! I had to get on and discourage them. They had no idea what they were doing.
We should be able to disable this on either a team or channel level. The feature is too useful to disable globally. Thanks.

We just had a compliance issue where someone clicked meet now in an all company channel and recorded the meeting. We were not able to delete the recording and it was available to download for everyone. We want to be able to turn meet now off in specific teams channels.

In addition, I would like to be able to disable the option to schedule a meeting from a channel. Several people have done this on a team that I own which has 700 members, and this has generate 1000s of emails, to which people reply to all on stating that the email wasn't for them.
This is damaging the way in which I use the team as people then want to leave it, shutting down a major method of communication

Please add this ASAP. This is an absolute requirement for large teams. Without this, no one should ever create a Team with more than 20 people, especially when people are just getting familiar with Teams.

Please implement this!! This is a must must must. We have users accidentally starting a meeting in a company wide channel and then it shows in the channel history forever!

Please help offer the ability to disable this meet now feature at the channel or team level. Like others, we have org-wide teams with over 400 members and creating channel meetings there wreak havoc. It's great functionality to have channel meetings in some cases!

This option urgently needed, the should enable hiding of the channel from the meeting scheduling in teams. Option to disable org-wide channel in teams. This will prevent users from sending meeting to org-wide channels
