    Yes this can be, but it is related to the meeting invites and not an outlook setting.

    You can open an appointment (via the outlook app on iPhone for example) and change the “alert” to a value you want to use.

    Let me know if this answers your question.

    Kind regards and stay healthy,

Mitchell BakkerWhat I need is to change the 15minute reminder to 5minutes when scheduling MS Teams meetings via the MS Team App.

Is this possible?

    Sorry for the late reply, but this is possible but not via the teams app. I always use the outlook app and open the meeting from there. Here you can change the reminder from 15min to 5min.

      OK, but does this also "set" the Reminder and send to ALL invitees - especially external ones? See my post just now, I set up a meeting in Teams, but the (external) guest did not have a reminder set, so missed the meeting. This seems like a pretty critical omission...

        Agree. Additionally, I've tried to navigate to the UserVoice link, and I get a message that it no longer exists.

      This helped a ton as a workaround. Thanks so much!

      What I think is being missed is the fact that Outlook preferences (where you can pick a standard reminder time) is not currently used by Teams.  I get no reminders for meetings scheduled as a teams meeting (from the Outlook Teams Meeting hyper link or from within the Teams desktop app either.

        Just fell foul of this... new to Teams, set up a meeting (in Teams) with a key Partner (outside my organization), but no reminder was set -- so they didn't show up for the meeting. Is there an ETA for fixing this?
