Scheduling a meeting from a Chat channel

Zoom users can easily schedule a meeting and invite others to join, but sometimes the exact list of invitees corresponds to an existing Chat group chat or channel. In such cases, users can schedule a meeting with those channel members directly from Chat, making the process more efficient and promoting teamwork and collaboration.
