Microsoft Teams Integration For Calendars

Overview

By connecting your Microsoft Teams account, you can automatically generate dynamic meeting links, reducing manual steps. If you select Microsoft Teams as your meeting location in any calendar, a unique Teams link will automatically be generated for each new booking and sent along with the calendar invite.

Prerequisites
You need access to the Microsoft Teams account you want to connect.

How to Add Microsoft Teams Links to Your Calendar

After connecting your Teams account, you can add dynamic Teams links to your calendar. Here's how:

Important Notes

• Connecting an Outlook calendar does not automatically link Microsoft Teams. To connect Teams, navigate to Calendar Connections > Video Conferencing and connect it separately.
• To view appointments on your Outlook calendar, ensure that your desired Outlook calendar is both connected and selected as the linked calendar. You can do this under Calendar Connections > Calendars.

Limitations with Microsoft Teams Integration

• Only Microsoft Teams accounts for Work and School (Organisation and Education) are eligible for integration.
• Each user can connect only one Microsoft Teams integration per account.
• The same Microsoft Teams integration can be used across multiple accounts, but only for the same user. For example, if User A has connected their Microsoft Teams integration in Account A, then only User A can connect that same integration to Account B.
