Microsoft Teams includes the Outlook add-in, which lets you create new Teams meetings directly from Outlook. You can also view, accept, or join meetings in either app.
Outlook on the desktop
-
Open Outlook and switch to the calendar view.

Note: Even if you begin by selecting New Meeting or New Appointment, you can make it a Teams meeting by selecting Teams Meeting at the top of the new event form.
-
Add your invitees to the Required or Optional field(s)—you can even invite entire contact groups (formerly known as distribution lists).

Select Send.
Note: The Teams meeting join details are added to the meeting invite automatically.
