Create a meeting from a Teams channel

You'll need a Microsoft Teams site to proceed with creating a meeting from a Teams channel. This method for creating a Teams meeting is ideal for recorded meetings, as the video recording will appear linked in the Teams channel after the video is processed.

What is a Teams channel?

On Microsoft Teams, a channel is a section of a Team, used to collaborate on a specific topic. Below is the Mascot MUsings Team, with three channels:

General channel — note that every Team has a General channel by default.
Fan Engagement Theory channel.
Mascot Care and Feeding channel.

Create a Teams channel meeting

In Microsoft Teams, navigate to the Teams channel for your meeting.
1. Select the Meet drop-down menu in the top-right corner.
2. Select Schedule a meeting.
The New Meeting screen appears.
1. Give the meeting a title.
2. If you want, add members to the "required attendees" field.
3. Adjust the meeting dates, start time and end time.
4. If you want to create a recurring meeting — a series of meeting which repeats on a regular basis — see instructions for how to schedule recurring Teams channel meetings in Teams Calendar.
5. Note that when you schedule a channel meeting from the channel, Microsoft Teams automatically sets the Teams channel where the meeting resides.
6. Add any meeting details in the large text box (optional).
Click or tap the Send button in the upper right corner. The channel meeting is created.
After the meeting is created, the meeting will appear in a Teams channel conversation.
To notify Teams site participants of this new meeting with a conversation post, click or tap Reply.
The reply text box appears. Type @team.
You'll be prompted with the Team's name as a suggestion. Select the Team name.
Your reply includes a mention of the Team by name, which will notify all Team members.
After the Team mention in the text box, write a brief note about the meeting. Click or tap the paper airplane icon to send.
