Outlook automatically creates Teams meetings

Modified on Mon, May 16, 2022 at 1:24 PM

Microsoft Outlook adds an online Microsoft Teams meeting to all invites by default. This can cause confusion when attempting to schedule a Zoom meeting as the Teams meeting isn't automatically removed. If Microsoft Teams is not your preferred method of conducting online meetings, you can turn this setting off.


  1. In Outlook, choose File and then Options.

  2. Select the Calendar tab of Outlook Options dialog box.

  3. Unclick the "Add online meeting to all meetings"

  4. Click OK on all dialog boxes and restart Outlook.
