Hold an impromptu meeting for your team in Teams

Getting everyone together for a meeting can take time out of your day and sometimes you need to have that meeting right now. Microsoft Teams gives you the ability to do this from within a channel by going to the Posts section of the channel and then selecting Meet: Meet Now from the upper right corner of the channel screen.

Bonus – You can click on the pull down and select “Schedule a meeting” to add a scheduled meeting to the channel for all the team members.

Schedule a meeting in Teams instead of Outlook

If you need to schedule a meeting for your team and you use Microsoft Teams, you can save time by scheduling the meeting from within Teams instead of jumping out to Outlook to book the time.

Go into your Team, select a Channel, and then in the upper right select the pull down next to Meet. Choose “Schedule a Meeting” and you can book the meeting without having to leave Teams.

Bonus Tip – You can use the Scheduling Assistant at the top of the screen to compare schedules to find the best available time.
