Microsoft Teams – Create meetings from Outlook

From ITSwiki
Jump to: navigation, search

The main difference in setting up meetings in MS Teams depends on the location of a user’s mailbox. All staff at DTU have on-premise mailboxes (instead of an online mailbox in Office365). Only online mailbox users can create meetings within MS Teams application, using the Calendar-feature.

On-premise mailbox users can ONLY setup meetings using a plugin in Outlook, and do not have the Calendar-feature available. This requires a simple installation (and Outlook).

Does NOT yet work on Outlook for Mac - work is being done on the issue.

Click it and a pop up a window similar to the normal meeting scheduler in Outlook calendar. Invite people, check free/busy time, add meeting details, and click Send.
