Share a meeeting invite with Join Button

Copper Contributor

Hi,

Is there any way to share a Teams Meeting invite with a larger group to include the Join Button in both the Teams & Outlook calendars?

 

Scenario as follows:

- A Teams meeting is created for a small group - all works fine

- The contents of the invite are then shared with a much larger groups (all within the same organisation) via a standard meeting invite or an emailed ICS file.

- The resulting event in the calendars of the larger group members does not have a Join button, even though the body of the message does contain the "Join Teams Meeting" link.

 

Is there any way to "force" the appearance of the Join button?

I know they can just click on the link in the message, but it would be nice to also share the Join button with the larger group.

 

Thanks...

if you enter the meeting -  click the attendee  button and the from there - copy meeting info

 

When you paste this in outlook there will be the join meeting button

@adam deltinger Thanks, tried that, didn't work. 

I created a standard meeting invite and pasted the info into it. It created a calendar entry alright but no "Join" button.

If I create a Teams invite and paste the info into that, it tells me there is conflict between the meeting info and the link in the body of the invite - which is understandable.
