    Please allow this feature! It would help so much in meeting with specific members within a Team.

    Really needed. It is obvious we need to be able to address calendar invitations to specific sub-groups in academia...

    I need to be able to schedule meetings in a private channel as well, so this feature is necessary.

    This is more than just Schools and Universities, this should be standard across the app. Teams for Enterprise should also have this ability

    I need this SO badly. With close to 1000 students, in the General channel, I learned quickly that hosting there is a NO-GO.
    Please, PLEASE allow us to schedule meetings in Private channels!

    This would be an incredibly useful feature to have. I really hope they implement this.

    We work a great deal with children under the age of 18, hence the need for private channels. Hence also the need for structure and consistency, with regular timetabled meetings.

    This feature would be most appreciated.

    I need this feature to be able to work with small groups in my class. The district has kids blocked from being able to create the meetings on their own, so I have to use class time to jump into every single group and invite the kids and then reset our meeting privacy settings. Massive waste of class time, especially when I need my kids in solo rooms for private lessons.

    This feature is very important in university. Each class has a team, so when students divide in groups they can have their own scheduled meetings, and teachers can easily go trough each group. This way, all documentation can be saved in a private environment and easily accesible place.

    This is why I started using this system, as I thought it had this functionality. As opposed to the alternate we have available. Will need to use the alternative instead.

    Exactly what we need when you want to hold small-group sessions rather than a whole class meeting.
