[What and Why:]
Microsoft Teams is introducing enhancements for channel meetings to make it easier to schedule meetings in the right context and help teams discover relevant meetings across their channels.
Users will be able to create channel meetings directly from the Teams calendar and create and manage channel meetings from classic Outlook for Windows. Channel members will be able to more easily discover meetings associated with their channels, helping teams stay informed about upcoming discussions and participate in relevant conversations. Administrative assistants and delegates will also be able to schedule channel meetings on behalf of others while keeping meetings connected to the appropriate team and channel.
