Creating a Teams Meeting for an existing event in Outlook

When looking at your Outlook calendar, you might want to add a Teams meeting where one hasn't been created. As the meeting host, you can change the details of the event to create a Microsoft Teams meeting, which, in turn, allows you to invite Caption.Ed Scribe to that meeting. 

Note

Instructions

First, open Outlook and find the event you want to add a Microsoft Teams meeting to. Then click on the event and click Edit.
