What is the difference in selecting Groups and Channels when setting up a meeting in Teams?

I was setting up a meeting earlier and selected some participants, groups and external users as well. On the channel tab I selected the org channel and when I sent the invite; all the users in the entire organization received the invite. I don't see why there needs to be an option for users to select channels, correct me if I am wrong.

    Hi @Murphy Chris

    When you select Add channel when creating a meeting, the meeting will be added as a channel meeting. This option is for the convenience of users to create channel meetings without going to a specific channel calendar.

    If you need to create a normal meeting and invite participants, please add participants in the Attendees tab instead of selecting Add channel in the Channel tab.
