Schedule a meeting
There are several ways to schedule a meeting in Teams:
-
Select Schedule a meeting
in a chat (below the box where you type a new message) to book a meeting with the people in the chat. -
Go to Calendar
on the left side of the app and select New meeting in the top right corner. -
Select a range of time in the calendar. A scheduling form will pop open.
The scheduling form is where you'll give your meeting a title, invite people, and add meeting details. Use the Scheduling Assistant to find a time that works for everyone.
Once you're done filling out the details, select Save. This will close the scheduling form and send an invite to everyone's Outlook inbox.
Invite people outside your organization
Teams lets you invite people outside your organization, including those who don't have a Teams license. You'll need their full email address to invite them.
-
Go to where it says Add required attendees. If anyone is an optional attendee, select Optional instead.
-
Type the person's full email address (ex: Joe@example.com).
-
Select Invite. They'll receive an email with a link to the meeting.
Make it a channel meeting
-
Select New meeting.
-
Type the name of one or more channels where it says Add channel (under the time and date fields).
Channels can't be edited or added once the invite is sent. You'll need to send a new invite with the updated channels.
Note: When you have a meeting in a channel, everyone in the team will be able to see it and join it in that channel.
Once you've added the people you want, select Scheduling Assistant to find the best time.
If it's a recurring meeting, open the drop down menu next to Does not repeat (just below the date). Choose how often you want it to occur from the default options, or select Custom to create your own cadence.
Schedule a meeting with your mobile device
To schedule a meeting, go to Calendar on the bottom of the app, then select Schedule a meeting in the top right.
Go to Add participants 
and select the people you'd like to invite.
Next, go to Share to a channel:
-
If you want have your meeting in a channel, select the appropriate channel.
-
If you’d rather not, skip it.
Note: When you have a meeting in a channel, people will be able to see and join it in that channel.
Then, set start and end times and write a description for the event.
Finally, select Done to schedule your meeting.
