Why?
In April Microsoft enabled online meeting link to Teams globally, so whenever an individual creates an Outlook meeting an online link to Teams is generated. Due to multiple locations when meetings were scheduled with another location, such as Zoom, this will be turned off.
Impact
When creating an Outlook meeting, a Teams online meeting link will not be added automatically.
Action Needed
Complete instructions to Schedule a Teams meeting from Outlook are available from Microsoft (Actions). Quick tips are in Details.
Details
