You can schedule a Teams meeting in Outlook or in the Calendar app in Teams. Your calendar in Teams is connected to your Outlook calendar. When you schedule a meeting in Outlook, it'll show up in Teams, and vice versa.

Schedule a Teams Meeting in Outlook

There are two ways to create a Teams meeting in Outlook: Create a new Teams meeting or add Teams meeting information to an existing meeting.

New Teams Meeting

  1. Open your Calendar in Outlook.
  2. On the ribbon, click New Teams Meeting:

  4. Set up the rest of the meeting details (e.g., title, participants), then click Send

Existing Meeting

If you have a previously scheduled meeting in Outlook, you can add the Teams meeting information to it.

Tip! This also works if you've started a new meeting without using the New Teams Meeting option above.

  1. Open the existing meeting.
  2. On the ribbon, click Teams Meeting:

  3. Update the rest of your meeting details, then click Send Update

Note: Once a meeting becomes a Teams meeting, it cannot be changed. Even if you delete the Teams information from the meeting message, a working Join Teams Meeting button will still appear on the ribbon.
