    Solved it! If you didn't have the meeting provider option that Jimmy suggested, then here's what you could do:

    File, Settings, Extensions (you can already see the Teams one being blocked while the Skype one being graciously allowed), but even if you allow the Teams one, press ok and refresh outlook, nothing happens. So, you have to click the "blocked items" from the dropdown menu, press go, remove Teams from the blocked list, set it back to COM-extensions, go, allow Teams and some other things too (if you only allow Teams, it won't work), and boom, there you go.

    Idk why it was blocked in the first place lol

    Use Teams client (web/desktop) app to schedule a Teams Meeting.

    To edit use Outlook client (web/desktop).

    @Isla Haigh

    If you are using Outlook to schedule your online meetings, you can change the default meeting platform from Skype to Teams by following these steps:

    1. Open Outlook and click on the "File" tab.
    2. Click on "Options" and then select "Calendar" from the left-hand menu.
    3. Scroll down to the "calendar options" section and click "Meeting Providers". You could select Microsoft Teams here.

    4. Click "OK" to save your changes.

    After making this change, any new meetings you create in Outlook will default to using Microsoft Teams instead of Skype.
