🚫 How to block or enable Channel meetings in Microsoft Teams?

Channel meetings are meetings that you can schedule in a channel. These meetings are more deeply integrated into Microsoft Teams and therefore offer better visual suggestions as you work more with Microsoft Teams as an organization.

In this blog, I explain how to activate or block Channel meetings within your organization.

Manage meeting policies in Microsoft Teams

Navigate to: Edit meeting policies - Microsoft Teams admin center to edit meeting policies.

Are you getting this error message, "you don't have permissions to create channel meetings"?

This option is disabled and must be enabled.

Under the tab: meeting policies is the option: "Channel meeting scheduling" -> this option must be enabled if you wish to hold channel meetings.
