MS Teams:: Schedule a Meeting with Public Guests

To schedule a meeting with external users who are not part of your Team (as in guest users), you need to work through Outlook. If you work through your Team, they will be required to create an account to access the meeting. Here's how:

1. Open Outlook

2. Move to Calendar

3. Select meeting time and click to create meeting

4. In the Teams meeting section, click the dropdown under Teams and select Schedule meeting

5. This will change the format of your Meeting Request

6. Title your meeting, add attendees, etc as you usually would and send request. 

7. When recipients receive the meeting request, they can click to join meeting. At that point, they can select whether to continue in browser or join in the app. Easiest is likely the browser. 

8. Their browser may prompt them to allow microphone and camera access (they should allow).
