Disabling MS Teams meetings by default in Outlook

Instructions for changing the setting that adds a Microsoft Teams meeting to all calendar events by default.

When creating an Outlook calendar even with at least one invitee, a Teams meeting option is added by default. This occurs whether you have added a Zoom meeting or selected a physical location. These instructions walk you through how to disable Teams meeting by default.

1. Go to Pioneer Portal at  https://portal.uwplatt.edu/  and log into Email (Office 365)
2. If it does not open to your email, select Outlook
3. Go to Settings (gear icon, upper right).
4. Select Calendar from the panel on the far left.
5. Select Events and invitations
6. UNCHECK the box for "Add online meeting to all meetings"
7. Save

NOTE: You may still opt to add a Teams meeting to your Outlook calendar event by toggling the "Teams meeting" switch from OFF (gray) to ON (blue).
