Teams link with Outlook invite not available with M365 account.
Hi folks, I cannot set up a Teams meeting invite with my Outlook invite. Do I really need to load Zoom instead?
Thanks for your guidance.

Hi Deleted
Thank you for your reply, I am very grateful.
I learned that because my M365 subscription is personal, not business, Microsoft do not allow to personal subscriptions to set up a Teams meeting (I can set a Zoom meeting!!!!!) in Outlook. (I cannot call any of my contacts either.)There is an option to set up a call in Teams directly, but I want to use Outlook only. I'm not a business, so I am not purchasing a business licence.
I tried what you suggested below, in the 'hope' it would work, but it has not. I am grateful you tried, Thank you.

RoddersIRL hey, you’re right - you can’t use Outlook + Teams with a personal sub. Its a bit of a pain.
If you do need to use Teams, you can create a free account and schedule meetings from that,
but it wont sync with your Outlook calendar. So, not ideal but if you absolutely need a Teams meeting, there’s a free option for you there.Edit: just clarifying: it syncs but you still need to create meetings from the Teams client, and not from Outlook.
