Teams Default Channel

Question

We're new to O365 and Teams, We've had users multiple times try to "schedule a meeting" from Teams, and the default Channel "ourdomain.com" is in there. When the user sends the invite to the select members they wanted on the invite, it generates a meeting invite and sends it to everyone in our organization. (because of the domain.com channel).

I'm guessing my options are to set this channel as private (which once I do that I know I cannot change it back to public). So I want to confirm this the best decision here, and see what everyone else is doing. OR Option 2, If there's a way to stop adding the "domain.com" channel as default to all meetings.

What has everyone else one? Whats the best practice here?

Thanks in Advance!

Answer 1

@Joe Frish ,

Where do you schedule Teams meeting?

If user schedules a meeting in some channels, it will be sent to all the members in the channel. You could delete the channel from the red box and add required attendees in the orange box as needed.

Regarding the meeting invitation sent to all users in your organization, it is due to this team is an org-wide team, which will automatically add everyone in your organization. So, the channel of this team contains all the users in your organization.

Referring to this article when user just wants to schedule a meeting with specific attendees but not all the members in certain channel.
