Hi Heather. Thanks for the video but its missing some vital information - how can you pick a group to invite to a meeting instead of just individual people? The video says you can invite groups but doesn't explain how to do this. I have looked but can't see how to do it so an explanation would be great. Thanks!
Hi, the short answer is the email associated with the group must be in your companies global address list (GAL). If so you start typing the name of the group into the attendees field. For example, my test environment has a group email address called London Finance. I start typing London, it comes up and I click the name to add to the meeting. If you are not seeing a group when you type the name, it is usually because the email for the group was added to the GAL when the group was created. Most times it can be added after the fact by the Microsoft Admins, the IT staff, at your company. P.S. thank you for asking. This is an example of the curse of knowledge because I am so used to just typing names I forgot to say it out loud in the video. Polite and constructive comments like this help me help others better.
My meting invite is not showing any link to join, can you please assist where I am going wrong? Also my Outlook down not have an option to create a New Teams Meeting.
If you meeting invite does not have a join link the most common reason is that the person who created it forgot to mark it as a Teams meeting. I think this may be the case because you also mention not seeing the Teams option in Outlook. That auto create Teams meeting from Outlook feature can be turned off so maybe that is what happened. It is actually best to create Teams meetings from your Teams calendar, not Outlook.
Thanks for the video! When creating a Teams meeting in Outlook, there's an option to toggle off the virtual link. How can the meeting link be removed when creating a Teams 'channel' invite for an in-person meeting? Thanks!
Just did some quick testing. When you try to create a channel meeting it hides the option to remove the Teams option. The only way to get that toggle back is to remove the channel from the invite. In a way it kind of makes sense. If you want it to link to a channel, that channel only exists in Teams so the Teams meeting aspect is always in play.
