When scheduling a new Teams meeting in the MS Teams calendar

Question

Hello

Please i need your help on this issue.

When scheduling a new Teams meeting in the MS Teams calendar, the required channel is not offered for selection.

When scheduling a meeting from the MS Teams (Desktop App) calendar, only a portion of the available Teams with their channels are offered for selection.

Even if the team is not selected from the list but is typed out manually, it cannot be found.

This was previously possible without any issues—it seems to be due to an incorrect or faulty change.

How can a meeting still be created for a specific Team/Channel, and what alternative options are available?

Hi @James James

Please check if your channel is hidden due to long-term inactivity. Teams will automatically detect and hide inactive channels that users have not interacted with recently.

You can set it from hidden to visible in the management channel:
