How can I create a Teams meeting within a specific channel using Microsoft Graph API?

Question

Hello, I'm working on integrating the Microsoft Graph API into my web application and am using the SDK to manage Microsoft Teams functionalities. I have been successful in creating Teams meetings via groups or chats using the SDK, but I need to create these meetings within a specific channel of a Team. The meetings created in this way should automatically save all chat messages within that channel, which is essential for my application.

The current SDK documentation does not provide guidelines on how to achieve this, and I was wondering if anyone here has managed to implement or workaround this issue. Any insights or examples on how to create a meeting directly in a Team channel would be greatly appreciated.

Hallo Keno,

Derzeit unterstützt die Microsoft Graph REST API keine Schreib- und Leseberechtigungen im Gruppenkalender für Anwendungen. Daher ist das Erstellen eines Ereignisses, in Deinem Fall eines Meetings, in einem Teamkanal nicht möglich, wie hier erläutert:

Create Event on Teams Channel Calendar from API application using Microsoft Graph API

Eine mögliche Problemumgehung könnte darin bestehen, ein Online-Meeting zu erstellen und Informationen darüber in einem Kanal zu veröffentlichen, wie in diesem Artikel erwähnt.

MS Graph API - start a Meeting in MS Team Channel & retrieve Meeting information.
