Creating a meeting with an old link

I was asked to create a series of meetings (not recurring, as they take place once a month but at different times and on different days) using the one link that was used for them for previously scheduled meetings, in order not to lose the chat. Is this possible?

  • Unfortunately, this is not possible. The chat history is tied to the meeting. For your chat history to persist across all of your meetings, you would need to schedule the meeting as a recurring one. Question: why could you not just schedule the recurring meeting and then modify each instance to reflect the different date-time? Hope this helps! If so, please consider marking it as the best response.

    you can copy the meeting link from the original meeting invite and paste it in each individual meeting invite .. LuciaCanonero  this is a workaround but works for me. One disadvantage though is, it will not give a prompt for people that meeting has started. They can join only by clicking on the link within the meeting invite.

    Sometimes, you just cannot forsee, that you meeting will have multiple meetings. Then, you cannot convert your standalone meeting into a recurring one anymore.

     

    I created a second meeting with MS Teams "button". And then, tried to overwrite the link inside the meeting body. But then the Outlook won't let me send it out, because there is also hidden MS Teams link inside the meeting invite, what I cannot manually update. 😞     So, this hidden MS Teams link would differ from the link in the meeting text body. Ehh.
