Start an instant meeting from Outlook or in Teams

Sometimes educators don’t have time to schedule a meeting. A learner is absent, a guardian has a question about an upcoming event, or a colleague wants to discuss last-minute needs for tomorrow’s assembly. Outlook and Teams offer options to start a meeting immediately.

Start an impromptu meeting

Select Meet Now wherever it’s available to open the Teams meeting window.

There are three ways to invite others to join the impromptu meeting:

  • Copy the link to the meeting
  • Add participants
  • Share via their default email app
