Avoid sending both Zoom and Teams links in your meeting invites [1]
Have you ever received a meeting invitation with both a Zoom link and a Teams link? This can lead to confusion with some attendees waiting for a meeting to begin on the wrong platform.
Usually, this error is caused by a default setting on the web-browser based version of Outlook, also known as Outlook Web App (OWA). To prevent Outlook from automatically adding a Teams link to your meeting invitations, follow these steps:
- Open a web browser and navigate to outlook.office.com/mail/ [3]
- Open Settings > Calendar
- Under Events and Invitations, confirm that the first box, “Add online meeting to all meetings” is not checked. Uncheck the box if it is selected.
- Click Save.
It’s best to also confirm that the same setting is not checked in your Windows desktop version of Outlook:
- Open Outlook.
- Go to File > Options > Calendar
- Under Calendar Options, confirm that the first box, “Add online meeting to all meetings,” under is not checked. If it is, uncheck the box.
- Click Ok at the bottom of the page.
