Microsoft Teams includes the
Outlook add-in, which lets you create new Teams meetings directly from Outlook. It also lets people
view, accept, or join meetings in either app.
Note: Currently, you can schedule Teams meetings from Outlook, but not choose a channel to have them
in.
Schedule a Meeting:
- Open Outlook and switch to the calendar view.
- Click
New Teams Meeting at the top of the view.
- Add your invitees to the To field—you can even invite entire contact groups (formerly known as
distribution lists).
- Add your meeting subject, location, start time, and end time.
- Click Send.
You can also invite people from outside MNGHA
from Outlook. Just be sure to add them as guests before the meeting starts or they will have to join
anonymously.
