Teams Meeting add-in and FindTime for Outlook

FindTime is an add-in for Outlook that helps users reach consensus on a meeting time across companies. Once the meeting invitees have provided their preferred times, FindTime sends out the meeting invite on the user's behalf. If the Online meeting option is selected in FindTime, FindTime will schedule a Skype for Business or Microsoft Teams meeting. (FindTime will use whichever has been set by your organization as the default online meeting channel.)

Note

If you saved a Skype for Business setting in your Findtime dashboard, FindTime will use that instead of Microsoft Teams. If you want to use Microsoft Teams, delete the Skype for Business setting in your dashboard.

For more information, see Schedule meetings with FindTime.

Authentication requirements

The Teams Meeting add-in requires users to sign in to Teams using Modern Authentication. If users do not use this method to sign in, they'll still be able to use the Teams client, but will be unable to schedule Teams online meetings using the Outlook add-in. You can fix this by doing one of the following:

• If Modern Authentication is not configured for your organization, you should configure Modern Authentication.
• If Modern Authentication is configured, but they canceled out on the dialog box, you should instruct users to sign in again using multi-factor authentication.

To learn more about how to configure authentication, see Identity models and authentication in Microsoft Teams.

Enable private meetings

Allow scheduling for private meetings must be enabled in the Microsoft Teams admin center for the add-in to get deployed. In the admin center, go to Meetings > Meeting Policies, and in the General section, toggle Allow scheduling private meetings to On.)

The Teams client installs the correct add-in by determining if users need the 32-bit or 64-bit version.

Note

Users might need to restart Outlook after an installation or upgrade of Teams to get the latest add-in.​

Teams upgrade policy and the Teams Meeting add-in for Outlook

Customers can choose their upgrade journey from Skype for Business to Teams. Tenant admins can use the Teams co-existence mode to define this journey for their users. Tenant admins have the option to enable users to use Teams alongside Skype for Business (Islands mode).

When users who are in Island mode schedule a meeting in Outlook, they typically expect to be able to choose whether to schedule a Skype for Business or a Teams meeting. In Outlook on the web, Outlook Windows, and Outlook Mac, users see both Skype for Business and Teams add-ins when in Islands mode by default. You can configure a Teams meeting policy setting to control whether users in Islands mode can only use the Teams Meeting add-in or both the Teams Meeting and Skype for Business Meeting add-ins.

Due to certain limitations in the initial release, Outlook mobile can only support creating Skype for Business or Teams meetings. See the following table for details.

Coexistence mode in the Teams admin center	Default meetings provider in Outlook mobile
Islands	Skype for Business
Skype for Business only	Skype for Business
Skype for Business with Teams collaboration	Skype for Business
Skype for Business with Teams collaboration and meetings	Teams
Teams only	Teams

Set whether users in Islands mode can only use the Teams Meeting add-in or both the Teams Meeting and Skype for Business Meeting add-ins

As an admin, you can configure a Teams meeting policy setting to control which Outlook meeting add-in is used for users who are in Islands mode. You can specify whether users can only use the Teams Meeting add-in or both the Teams Meeting and Skype for Business Meeting add-ins to schedule meetings in Outlook.

You can only apply this policy to users who are in Islands mode and have the AllowOutlookAddIn parameter set to True in their Teams meeting policy. For steps on how to set this policy, see Meeting policy settings - General.

Other considerations

The Teams Meeting add-in is still building functionality, so be aware of the following:

• The Teams Meeting add-in requires an Exchange mailbox for the primary user scheduling the meeting. Ensure that you have at least one Exchange mailbox configured in your Outlook profile and use it to schedule Teams meetings with the add-in. For Exchange requirements, see How Exchange and Teams interact.
• The add-in is for scheduled meetings with specific participants, not for meetings in a channel. Channel meetings must be scheduled from within Teams.
• The add-in will not work if an Authentication Proxy is in the network path of the user's PC and Teams Services.
• Users can't schedule live events from within Outlook. Go to Teams to schedule live events. For more information, see What are Microsoft Teams live events?.

Delegate scheduling does not work

If your administrator has configured Microsoft Exchange to control access to Exchange Web Server (EWS), a delegate won't be able to schedule a Teams meeting on behalf of the boss. The solution for this configuration is under development and will be released in the future. As a workaround, your administrator can add the following string to the EWS Allow List: 'SchedulingService'.

Start here

Whether you're a small business or a multi-national, this is the place to start rolling out Teams. These articles will guide you through a small-scale Teams rollout, which may be all you need if you're a small business or if you're rolling out Teams quickly as your first Microsoft 365 workload to support remote workers.

If you're a larger organization, use these articles to pilot Teams with a small group of early adopters so you can learn about Teams and start planning your org-wide deployment. Later, use the guidance on the Microsoft Teams Adoption site to help you roll out Teams across your organization.

We recommend rolling out Teams in stages, workload by workload, as your organization is ready. You don't have to wait until you've completed one step before you move to the next. Some organizations may want to roll out all Teams features at once, while others may prefer a phased approach. Here are the Teams workloads, in the order we recommend rolling them out:

If you have a medium or large organization, use Advisor for Teams to help you roll out Microsoft Teams to help you plan the rollout of these workloads across your organization. The Advisor uses Teams itself to create a plan tasks and assign them to owners, share documents, and enable discussions amongst your deployment team.

Make sure you're ready

To get ready for your Teams rollout, here's what you need to do, whether Teams is your first workload ('Teams First') or the next workload in an existing Microsoft 365 or Office 365 deployment:

• • This includes configuring your Microsoft 365 or Office 365 domain, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, and OneDrive for Business.

• Get Teams licenses for everybody. Check out Teams plans and Microsoft Teams service description.

Get familiar with Teams

If you're new to Teams, the best way to get familiar with it is to start using it right away. The great thing about Teams is that what you set up now won't get in the way of any upgrades or migrations you might need to do later.
