Schedule a meeting is missing form teams app on Mac and from web browser
LukaJ1705 In a channel, can you press the Meet button and start a meeting. When you join you should be offered the options below to share that link.
You can then close the meeting, and restart it later if you like.
For all other ways to schedule a meeting you need a calendar in Office 365, so there is a place to store and retrieve that meeting link.
I eventually managed to get it to send out a meeting invite with the link this way:
Open Teams on the Mac
Click on Teams in the left hand menu
Top right of Screen shows Meet - with a drop down menu
Select Schedule a Meeting.
Works this week. Will probably be broken again in the next update. Support for those not using Outlook on a Mac is incredibly flakey.
- I made the mistake of buying Office 2021 for Mac thinking that Outlook would be the same as the Windows version of 4 years ago - it isn't, it's worse. I also that that since Teams was bundled in with the Office package I would get the benefits of the paid version of Teams and MS does all they can to ensure that you DO think this as it leads to more sales. Sadly, Teams sucks and even in the MS Office package its still just the free version. However, I did find a workaround for this "Unable to create meeting. Something went wrong. Please try again" problem on Teams for Mac. I schedule all meetings through clicking the calendar icon and NOT through the dedicated link for "new meeting" or "schedule meeting" for whatever reason this solves it for me. I've been using Zoom but they are greedy little beast-ards over there in that they only give you 40 minute single person meetings which is about 10-15 minutes too short so Zoom manages to embarass me every single meeting I have so I am growing to hate them even more than I hate Microsoft. Teams will at least give you an hour and let you meet with more than one person. Eventually Microsoft will buy Zoom like they did Skype and ruin it by dedicating zero budget to development and upkeep....like they did with Skype.
- I am also having this problem in my Mac. Got the email that free was being phased out so diligently did all steps but I don’t want Outlook. Now can’t schedule a meeting at all. Hateful MS - Zoom is so much easier and will own meeting space with MS trying to own all programs and apps. Solution to this problem: use Zoom.
GabrielHay I just keep getting "Unable to create meetingSomething went wrong. Please try again." every time I try to schedule a Teams meeting on my Mac. Its been this way for a while now. Would be nice if MS would get this sorted so I don't have to go back to Zoom.
