Change default online meeting from Skype for Business to Teams in Outlook Web Access

As a user of Outlook Web Access, I want to take advantage of the "add online meeting to all meetings" setting.

When I enable this, a Skype for Business meeting is automatically added to each meeting created. However, I would like the default to be Teams instead of Skype. Is there anyway for an end user to force this preference to Teams by default so I don't have to remember to change it everytime from Skype to Teams?

    Hi @Jarrett Campbell

    What is your coexistence mode?

    It is up to your coexistence mode. If you are in Islands mode, you can choose either Skype meeting or Teams meeting.

    If you are in Teams only mode, you can only choose Teams meeting.

    After you upgrade to Teams only mode, it will wait several hours to take effect.

    For more information about coexistence mode, please refer to this article:
