How To Change Outlook Settings: Teams Meetings

Outlook
Have you noticed that every time you create a meeting in Outlook and invite someone else it always creates a Teams meeting as well? This can be 1) useful if you use Teams a lot, 2) a bit annoying if you don’t, it’s just a reminder or an in-person meeting or 3) inconvenient if you use Zoom or other meeting plugins because Teams gets primacy and attendees may join the wrong meeting.

It’s a quick fix to change this so that Outlook doesn’t add a Teams meeting by default when you invite others.

Right click the Mail icon in Outlook and go to Options > Calendar

You can either

  1. Untick the box to stop Outlook adding online meetings to all meetings
  2. Set a different default meeting provider, such as Zoom, if you want to keep the option but use something other than Teams
You can turn off the feature or change the default meeting provider
You can turn off the feature or change the default meeting provider
