Allow users to schedule meetings from Team Chat

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

Prerequisites for allowing users to schedule meeting from Team Chat

• A paid Zoom account
• Account owner or admin privileges
