This time, in our MS Teams Monday, we have special treat for you: the scheduler in Outlook is back! (Hopefully for longer than the last time!)

You might need to activate the add-in first, as it slows down Outlook a bit. 

Let's step right into it:

Prerequisites

  • Open your Outlook and click on File (Upper left corner) 
  • You will find your Account Information. Click on the Slow and Disabled Add-ins

  • You will find the Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office in there. Make sure it is in the always enable list.

2. Click on your calendar (or the one where you want to schedule a meeting from) and click on the New Teams Meeting button.

Please note: To schedule a meeting for someone else, you will need to have full access to their mailbox
