#Meeting scheduler outlook for mac windows#
I logged a call with MS Premier Support and according to them Outlook for Windows does not honour the organisational setting.
“If the organizational setting is configured, Outlook for Windows will respect that setting and make meetings online by default.” This option is effective only if OnlineMeetingsByDefaultEnabled is set to $False. Outlook for Windows also includes a setting in the Calendar section of its options to control if the client should create Teams meetings as the default (Figure 2). Figure 1: Remove Teams details from a meeting The default for a tenant is $False, meaning that the decision is then up to the user.Įven if OnlineMeetingsByDefaultEnabled is updated to $True, Outlook users can remove the online components from individual meetings by selecting the Don’t Host Online option from meeting settings (Figure 1). To configure the organizational setting, run the Set-OrganizationConfig cmdlet from the Exchange Online management module as follows: Set-OrganizationConfig -OnlineMeetingsByDefaultEnabled $TrueĪll Outlook clients now use the same organization setting to control when they create Teams online meetings. If the organizational setting is configured, Outlook for Windows will respect that setting and make meetings online by default. OWA and Outlook mobile use an Exchange Online organizational setting (which can be overridden for individual mailboxes) to know if they should schedule online meetings. As I write, I see the change in Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise build 13530.20218. It depends on updates to the Teams meeting add-in for Outlook and Outlook click-to-run (current channel). According to Microsoft roadmap item 66021, the feature will be available in January 2021. Office 365 notification MC230567 (updated January 20) brings the news that Outlook for Windows gains a similar feature. It will indicate how many people are available for each time slot by green or red people icons.In mid-2020, Microsoft introduced new configuration settings to make online meetings the default when scheduled by OWA, Outlook for Mac, and Outlook mobile clients. FindTime automatically scans each invitee’s calendar and finds possibilities. Then click on New Meeting Poll on the top right.
Start by creating a new appointment and fill in a Title, Required Attendees and how long the meeting will be. For a more automated approach, you can use FindTime (available as part of Office365). Also, on the right side, it will list suggested times along with who may have conflicts. You can choose “AutoPick” at the top and it will find the first available time the invitees are all available. Note that if you manually choose a different time, the time slot will default back to 30 minutes, so you may need to change that back if your meeting is longer than 30 minutes You can use the scroll bar along the bottom to change dates. Vertical white space shows times when all attendees are available. You will see purple bars which indicate people are busy (appointment in their calendar). Invited attendees are along the left side and dates and times are across the top. Then click on “Scheduling Assistant” on the top row (between Meeting & Insert). Add the title and click “Invite Attendees” to add people to your invite and add how long the meeting will be (don’t worry about the specific date and time, but if it is a 1 hour meeting, then ensure the time block is for one hour).
