Good afternoon all,

Have any other Mac users noted that the updated Teams App no longer includes the option to "Add Channel" when creating new meetings? We have looked through the other options on the booking screen, and have not found a solution.

A screenshot of a Mac user performing the "new meeting" function and a Windows user performing the "new meeting" function have been attached. Both are signed in underneath the same Teams account on different desktops.

    Yes, you're not alone—several Mac users have reported that the new Microsoft Teams client (Teams 2.0) currently lacks the “Add channel” option when scheduling meetings.

    You may switch over to Team Web App: https://teams.microsoft.com

    The browser version often retains full functionality...

    Else, if you have the Teams add-in for Outlook, you can schedule a Teams channel meeting there by selecting the correct Team/channel under “Location”.
