Every time I schedule a meeting, it defaults to a regular event instead of a channel meeting, which is annoying. Is there a way to set channel meetings as the default?

Dear SHAH, Jay Bharatbhai,

Based on your description, Microsoft Teams currently does not provide a user setting or admin policy that makes every new meeting default to a channel meeting. Meetings created from Calendar > New event therefore start as regular meetings.

Kindly try these workaround steps:

Open Teams and select the required channel.

Select the arrow next to Meet now.

Choose Schedule a meeting.

Enter the meeting details and select Send.

Starting from the channel automatically associates the meeting with that channel. Everyone on the team can see and join it from the channel; depending on the current interface, you can also add specific attendees or enable personal invitations.

Alternatively, when creating a regular meeting from the Teams calendar, use Add channel and select the relevant team and channel before sending. A channel cannot be added or changed after the invitation is sent, so you would need to create a new invitation if the wrong channel was selected.

Note: Scheduled channel meetings are not supported in private channels.

I hope the information shared helps point you in the right direction.
