How to set up an offline event on MS Teams Calendar
ayao24
There is no way to do this from the Teams calendar directly at the moment. By default any meeting created through the Teams Calendar gets a meeting link with it. The best way to create the offline event is using the Outlook Calendar instead. Hopefully this will be possible eventually because it would be handy to not have to leave the Teams environment when setting up events.Schnittlauch
You can add an offline location from the Teams calendar as you indicated. I think the problem ayao24 is referring to is that even if you add a location there is still a Teams meeting link automatically embedded in the event. As a result, there may be confusion for invited attendees as to whether this is an online or offline meeting and how they are to attend.

true, outlook is the cleaner solution, otherwise you have to adjust the title of the meeting like "IN RL, NOT IN TEAMS, ROOM XY" or however
I mean, the people are old enough to read. You also can write in the groupchat of the event, that you meet in real life. But your right.
On the other hand this would be a good test, to see who works carefully and reads all instructions that have been sent 😄
