Teams Meeting Time Defaults to 24 Hours When Using the Teams Add-in for Outlook
Which version of Outlook is that? Mine sets it correctly to 30 mins.
Does it happen for all meetings, or just Teams ones? What is the default value for meeting duration set?
You can check it via Options -> Calendar -> Calendar options -> Default duration for new appointments and meetings.
Also check the mailbox-level one via Get-MailboxCalendarConfiguration user | select DefaultMeetingDuration
VasilMichev Only happens with Teams-meetings. Most recent Outlook version from o365 subscripion.
The setting from options does not make any impact here. I have tried the default being 30 minutes and 1h.
Image attached of what happens when I open New Teams meeting. The default time is 24hrs. Its quite annoying. I have sent several invites that are over 1 day long as I have forgot to change the date also.
J3000 I realize the original post I'm responding to was from March 2020, but I also have the same issue with my copy of Outlook, so thought I'd provide some version information. I'm running Outlook version 2009, Build 13231.20262. Hope that helps. Having Teams meetings default to 24 hours is a bit of a pain.
Same behavior for me: "New Teams Meeting" button in Outlook for PC creates a 24 hour appointment.
Outlook from "Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise"
Insider channel version 2007 13012.20000 (64-bit)
Teams version 1.3.00.13565 (64-bit)
On Windows 10 2004 19041.329
Default appointment length set to 30 minutes in Outlook options, which works when using "New appointment" function. Outlook ignores that 30 minutes setting, when I double click on a day in the Outlook calendar view. Double click creates a full day appointment item.
My Windows and Office language is set to German.
Nevertheless the Teams button in the ribbon of the Outlook calendar view shows "New Teams Meeting", while the other Outlook commands in the ribbon have German labels. Maybe a regional settings bug in the Teams addin?
The installed Teams desktop client shows German UI. Just the Outlook Addin button ignores my language settings.
Again, which version/build is that so I can report it. "Most recent" means different things across different channels and SKUs, so get the info out of File -> Office Account.
VasilMichev My version is 2003 (build 12624.20320). Same problem was also present with the 2002... version.
As above, the problem is only present when scheduling a Teams meeting through desktop Outlook. Regural desktop Outlook meetings follow the default time set from Outlook options. Teams-meeting does not.
Everything works normal and the default time is regular when creating the Teams meeting in browser or dedicated Teams meeting app on desktop.
ABG3192 what are you language preferences system wide? If this is a rare bug, I would first check there. I have system language set to English, but region and formatting set to Finnish. Also, for modern apps language set to English and formatting and other things set to Finnish. I have noticed that using Windows 10 like this sometimes manifests weird bugs. For example at some point I was not able to run battery health command succesfully, unless first changing all language settings to one language.VasilMichev I am having the same problem. It only occurs when trying to schedule a Teams meeting through Outlook Calendar. Default within standalone Teams program or normal Outlook meeting/appointment has default of 30 minutes. My version is 2002, build: 12527.20278.
I'm on 12527.20278 and don't see this problem. Let me ping few folks.
