How to Turn on Online Meetings by Default in the Outlook Web App
One of the great features in Outlook now is that you can automatically set up Teams meeting. With a click of a button, Outlook will create a calendar invite with a link for people to join using Teams — saving lots of time!
With many of us now working from home permanently, you can change Outlook to default to online meetings, saving you even more time.
In this blog by our expert trainers Sal and Ebe, find out how to do it.
