Microsoft Teams allows its users to integrate its programs to improve workflow and make tasks easier. For instance, you can integrate Microsoft Teams with Outlook using a dedicated mailbox for each channel. A dedicated mailbox from Microsoft Teams will have its extension as “.ms,” making it easy to use within the program. If you need to email all channel members, you can do so within the program. However, what can you do to send an email to all channel members in Microsoft Teams? Have a read-through to see what you can do to send an email to all channel members in Microsoft Teams.
When a channel is created in Microsoft Teams, they automatically generate a domain for that channel which you can use to send emails to all your channel members. Microsoft Teams automatically generate this domain that does not follow the name you set for your channel. It uses a random string of digits followed by the extension of your channel or your team and then proceeds to create that email. You’ll need to access your channel to retrieve the email, and then you need to go into Microsoft Outlook to finally send an email to all your channel members.

When you have completed the steps shown above, you will have successfully sent an email to all your channel members. You, unfortunately, do not have the option to change who receives this email, as everyone in the channel will receive that email. As this is a channel email, you need to ensure that all the members you want to assign to the channel have been added before sending the email.

Why send an email to channel members as opposed to a chat in Teams
There are some positives to conveying a message in email rather than using the Microsoft Teams chat. One such positive is using a more dedicated platform for communication. Outlook provides more features such as attaching content such as folders, files, documents, and even content libraries. However, in Microsoft Teams chat, you can only attach content such as images and text.
Another positive is the ability to add your signatures to the content you send to your members. In Outlook, you can set your email signatures at the bottom of your content. If the content you are sending to your members is more official, you can use this method to ensure that the content you send has a professional output.
