    Scheduling a Teams meeting depends on the type of Outlook/Teams account and where the meeting is being created.

    1. Verify the account type
    • Scheduling Teams meetings from Outlook is only supported for Microsoft 365 Business Exchange accounts.
    • It is not supported for free accounts such as @outlook.com, @hotmail.com, @msn.com or for POP/IMAP accounts like @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, @icloud.com.
    • If logged into Teams with a personal Outlook.com-type account, Teams meeting scheduling from Outlook will not be available.
    1. Schedule a Teams meeting from Outlook – new Outlook (desktop or web)
    1. Open Outlook (desktop or web).
    2. Go to Calendar.
    3. Select New event.
    4. Next to Title, turn on the Teams meeting toggle.
    5. From the Calendar dropdown, choose the Microsoft 365 Business account.
    6. Add meeting details and invite attendees.
    7. Select Send.
    1. Schedule a Teams meeting from Outlook – classic Outlook for Windows
    1. Open Outlook desktop.
    2. On the Home tab, select the dropdown next to New Email and choose Meeting.
    3. In the Meeting tab, select the dropdown next to Teams Meeting and choose Schedule meeting.
    4. Teams join info appears in the body.
    5. Add meeting details and invite attendees.
    6. Select Send.
    1. Schedule a Teams meeting from Outlook mobile
    1. Open the Outlook mobile app.
    2. Tap Calendar.
    3. Tap New Event.
    4. Turn on the Teams Meeting toggle.
    5. Enter details and invite attendees.
    6. Tap Save.

    If the Teams toggle or Teams Meeting button is missing even with a valid Microsoft 365 Business Exchange account, the mailbox’s default online meeting provider may need to be set by an administrator using:

    Set-MailboxCalendarConfiguration -Identity <user@domain> -DefaultOnlineMeetingProvider TeamsForBusiness

    After this is corrected, the Teams meeting toggle should appear in new Outlook and Teams when creating events.

    Hello @anshul jairath, 

    Good day! I hope you are doing well. 

    Based on your description, I understand that you’ve signed in to Microsoft Teams using an Outlook account, but you’re currently unable to schedule a Teams meeting. 

    Please let me know if I’ve misunderstood any part of your issue or if there are additional details you’d like to share. 

    To help provide the most accurate and effective solution, could you please share a bit more information about your setup? 

    • As you mentioned signing in to Teams with your Outlook account, could you please confirm whether the email address uses a personal domain (such as @outlook.com) or an organization/work domain? 
    • Where are you trying to schedule the meeting from (Teams desktop app, Teams on the web, Teams for mobile device)? 
    • Does this issue happen when you signing on Outlook on the web? 
    • What exactly happens when you try to schedule the meeting? For example: 
      • Is the Calendar or New meeting option missing? 
      • Is there no Teams meeting toggle when creating a calendar event? 
      • Do you see any error message? If so, please provide the complete error message, including any error codes shown. 

    This additional context will help us better understand your environment and determine whether the issue is related to account type, licensing, or application behavior. 

    I apologize if I could not jump straight to a solution. I want to avoid suggesting anything that might be inaccurate or unhelpful. Once I have the details above, I’ll be able to assist you more effectively and guide you toward the right resolution. 

    Looking forward to your response so we can get this sorted out together.
