Teams conference details auto generated with every new Outlook meeting
While your answer is great for the Web Client (to which I honestly sparingly use) and that you can do the same thing in the Outlook mobile app, how can the same functionality be achieved in the Outlook client installed locally on a machine? This is what I am pretty sure that the original poster of this question is asking and what I know I personally would really like to know as I am getting tired of creating a new meeting and then having to make sure that I click the Teams Meeting button to add the Teams Meeting as the location and put the details in the body of the message.
Thanks.
Hi, I would like to be able to do the same thing - use some setting from my Microsoft Outlook for PC to automatically add an MS Teams meeting to every meeting I create in Outlook.
I know is possible, it was set up that way by default in my previous workplace.
I am not using the Outlook Web client. I am looking for the solution with the Outlook desktop client for PC.
If this is a setting that requires someone with a Corporate IT Administrator privilege, please let me know as well.

Ed_Kerstetter Thank you! Much appreciated. I now see that instructions for end users to change this setting individually are set out here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/schedule-a-teams-meeting-from-outlook-883cc15c-580f-441a-92ea-0992c00a9b0f
Shubham_Singh- you'll see the screenshot you asked for here for both Outlook Online and Desktop client.

Ed_Kerstetter the option "Add Online meeting to all meetings" is not visible in Outlook Client.
Please share screen shot if possible.
- Ed_KerstetterOct 14, 2021Copper ContributorI can answer #1. There is a setting under Outlook client > Options > Calendar called "Add Online meeting to all meetings". When this is checked and I create a new meeting and goto add invitees, it automatically adds Teams Meetings details.

I have the same requirement as you all, Dragos_YOW, @armellef and anthonyfield:
1. as a user, I want all my meetings created in Outlook to automatically be Teams meetings, whether via the Webapp, Outlook client or mobile app; or licence type. I do not want to manage this setting in my personal account or device. I want to be able to remove the Teams info if the meeting does not need to be a Teams meeting.
2. as an IT Admin, I want all meetings created in Outlook to be automatically be Teams meetings for all users. I want to make this change once, centrally.
Is there a global setting that will achieve 1 and 2?
- Mar 28, 2021Hello @Dragos,
Whenever we schedule the Teams Meeting all the details are getting auto-populated into the meeting invite. If someone schedules a regular Outlook Meeting the options will not be populated as it s a Outlook Meeting,
