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.
