If you use the desktop Teams app, and you have Outlook installed, you should be able to schedule a Teams meeting via the button on the Outlook ribbon.

I can't do this. Can you talk me through it? It doesn't give me that option

  Do you have Outlook installed on your PC or Mac?

    Rob Ellis, I have Outlook and am using the free personal version of Teams as I love Teams and was recently laid off. In my Outlook, where I had previously seen in the calendar that I could schedule a Teams meeting, it only shows me that I can schedule a "new Skype meeting" which when clicked says there is an error. Is there an additional download needed in the Free personal Teams app to schedule a Teams meeting? This would be very helpful for informational interviews, etc. Thank you for your guidance!
