How to set up a Microsoft Teams meeting and invite attendees

You can set up a Microsoft Teams meeting from your calendar, a chat, or a team channel. Add a time and attendees, check their availability, and send an invitation with a join link. With a connected work or school account, meetings scheduled in Teams also appear in your Outlook calendar.

Before you start: Sign in to Teams with an account that has access to the calendar and meeting scheduling. Have your attendees’ names or email addresses ready. Channel meetings require access to a suitable team and channel, while phone dial-in requires Audio Conferencing to be enabled for the organizer.
