I'd like to be able to schedule a meeting for private channels. I'm a teacher and we often do sessions with the whole class then private breakout groups and we need to be able to schedule meetings with these private groups

I echo all the educators voice in this thread- PLEASE make it so we can schedule a meeting in a private channel! With the cluster of having 4 different cohorts to teach- all of whom are learning at different times in different spaces this is much needed!

The ability to schedule a meeting within a private channel is definitely an essential element for the functionality of Teams used by educators. Right now, while it is just a few key strokes and mouse clicks to Join a meeting and let everyone know in the channel when to join, it adds up quickly and opens up chances of making a mistake. Being able to directly schedule a meeting in a private channel and then have those participants join the meeting through Outlook would be extremely helpful!!

Tossing my comment into the UserVoice void.... This feature is needed by educators. I often have to have one-on-one meeting with my SpEd students/parents and we need to be able to keep meetings (and the chat logs from those meetings) confidential from other members of the Team (ie: other students/parents). Would love an update on this request but past experience tells me it's a waiting game.

RSP Teacher trying to get groups going and kids/parents are lost! They're used to using the calendar to join, but I have my paraprofessionals and I on private channels so we can't put their group times on the calendar. Please add this feature ASAP.

Desperately needed functionality that seems like a total given.

Either update this feature, or rollback ability to add members to public channels, so we can separate students (within a class) in groups and video call each group separately. Because of Corona our school will split each class in two and they will attend classes one group per week. Alternative is to create a team for both halves of one class, but that isn't useful, if you have class wise announcements.

I made the mistake of creating private channels for my class discussion sections, and then discovered that I couldn't schedule the discussion meetings in it. This is just preposterous. And worse, I can't go back and just make the channel public. Now I'm afraid to use the private channel for ANYTHING, because I don't know what other bizarre omissions I'll trip across. What other tools won't work, just because the channel membership is limited?

Please add this feature! I read an article that said this could be done but it looks like it's still under review.
