I want to create Teams meeting invitations in my outlook calendar

Question

I would like to creat Teams meeting invitations in new Outlook but I cannot find a way to create a Teams Add-In

Answer 1

Hello

If you are using New Outlook, your Microsoft account needs to be using outlook.com or hotmail.com address/alias in order for this to work. Create an entry in the calendar and you will find the Teams meeting toggle to turn it on/off. Note, this is New Outlook, not Outlook Classic.

If you don't have an outlook.com alias, you can create one.

Sign in here: https://account.live.com

Go to Your Info > Sign in preference, Add an alias.

Create new: this will allow you to use the native domain outlook.com to create a new alias.

Once added, make this new alias your primary alias. Then you need to add this outlook.com address in New Outlook.

That's what I thought too, howver there is no Teams option when I creat a new meeting

Answer 3

To create Teams meeting invitations in the new Outlook, you should be aware that the new Outlook for Windows does not support the Teams COM add-in, which is the traditional method for integrating Teams with Outlook. Instead, the new Outlook includes a native Teams meeting capability that allows you to schedule meetings directly without needing a separate add-in.

To create a Teams meeting in the new Outlook, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the new Outlook.
2. Go to your calendar.
3. Select the option to create a new meeting.
4. In the meeting details, you should see an option to add a Teams meeting.
5. Fill in the meeting details and send the invitation.

If you are using the classic Outlook, ensure that you have the Teams Meeting add-in installed and follow the appropriate steps to create a meeting.

For more detailed information on scheduling Teams meetings from Outlook, you can refer to the official Microsoft documentation.
