HiTeresa_Cyrus ,

thanks for your quick reply! The Quick Steps will be great to simplify the process,

but currently I can't create a Teams videoconference in Outlook Web at all.

As workaround I have to 1) create a Dummy Calendar entry in Teams, then 2) in Outlook Web do the Reply-by-Meeting you described, and copy&paste the videoconference information from Teams over to the Outlook calendar entry. Not elegant, and I don't see how to automate that with the Outlook quick thing.

Yours,

Steffen

Just as a fyi in case others are reading this thread, the Teams details will not show in the Outlook description while creating the event. I get questions from clients about this behavior a lot.

 

As long as the Teams Meeting button is enabled in the event, the end user will see the details in Outlook (pic 1) once the event is open.  Also, the end users can click on the Join button from the Calendar (pic 2) or Outlook Event (pic 3).

 

Now, if you can't create a video conference at all, contact Microsoft Help Support. You have some other issues.
