Dear Brandon Eastin,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you.

I understand your frustration with the current limitations of scheduling meetings in private channels in Microsoft Teams. Unfortunately, at this time, there is no way for an admin to enable scheduled meetings in private channels. The grayed-out option you are seeing is a known issue and Microsoft is working on a fix for it. In the meantime, you can use a workaround by scheduling the meeting in the main channel and then moving it to the private channel. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience as Microsoft works to improve the Teams experience.

Thanks for pointing out that the UI designing issue, it should be "Microsoft has not added this feature" not "Your Admin hasn't enabled this feature".

Thanks for bring this to Microsoft Community. Since I think your idea is really constructive. I will report this to Microsoft. Meanwhile, I sincerely suggest you post this precious suggestion to Microsoft. Microsoft will update their product based on customers' suggestions. Believe your suggestion will help many other people in the future. Your understanding and co-operation are highly appreciated.

In the meantime, you can use a workaround by scheduling the meeting in the main channel and then moving it to the private channel.

There is no option to change the channel of an existing meeting though. How can you move a meeting to the private channel?

I hope scheduling meetings in private channels in enabled soon. The forum threads on this issue go back years and it's a very important feature. Thank you!

Could you let me know 'how' can I 'move' a scheduled meeting from the main channel to the private channel?
