Microsoft Teams' Meet Now feature allows you to connect with the people you need at the click of a button, providing you with an instant video conference and the ability to share your screen. Meeting attendees will continue have access to the meeting chat, the recording, and anything else people share in the meeting (like files and meeting notes), even after the meeting ends, just as they do in a scheduled meeting.
