Types of Teams meetings
There are two types of Teams meetings: channel meetings and private meetings.
Channel meetings are held in a channel in a team, they are available to everyone in the team to join. These meetings can only be scheduled through the Teams software. Recordings of these meetings are available to the entire team.
Private meetings are not held in a channel in a team, only those who get invited to these meetings can join them. These meetings can be scheduled through Teams or Outlook. Recordings of private meetings are only available to those who are invited to the meeting.
Scheduling a
channel meeting
To schedule a meeting in a channel click on the
Teams tab then choose the team and channel you would like to hold the meeting in.
Use the
Meet > Schedule a meeting option in the top right of the channel:
Schedule the meeting as usual (title, time etc.), but notice the channel box has the name of the channel populated.
Scheduling a
private meeting
Private meetings can be scheduled in Outlook through the
New Teams Meeting button on the
Home tab.
They can also be scheduled through
