Channel meetings are a way to quickly invite everyone in a team to a meeting. With channel meetings, everybody in a team can see there is a meeting, join the meeting, and use the meeting chat. In addition to regularly scheduled meetings, your users can create channel meetings. They can join directly from the calendar invitation via the Join meeting link or call in via audio if available.Īs the administrator, you'll configure meeting settings and control which meeting features are enabled for your organization by specifying meeting policies. Participants don't need to be a member of an organization (or have a Teams account) to join a Teams meeting. Meetings in Teams include audio, video, and screen sharing for up to 1,000 people and view-only capabilities for participants over 1,000.
