Hello Laura,
I am Ibhadighi and I would happily help you with your question. In this forum, we are Microsoft consumers just like yourself.
To view and share the link for a Microsoft Teams meeting, you can follow these steps:
- Schedule the Meeting: • Open Microsoft Teams. • Click on the Calendar icon on the left-hand sidebar. • Click the "+ New Meeting" button to create a new meeting event. • Fill in the meeting details such as the date, time, and subject.
- Get the Meeting Link: • After scheduling the meeting, you'll see it on your calendar. • Click on the scheduled meeting to open its details. • You should see the meeting link displayed in the "Join Microsoft Teams Meeting" section. It will look like "https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/..."
- Copy the Meeting Link: • To copy the meeting link, you can click on it once to highlight it, and then right-click and select "Copy" from the context menu. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C (Windows) or Command+C (Mac) after highlighting the link.
- Share the Meeting Link: • Once you have copied the link, you can share it with others through email or any other messaging or communication tool you prefer. Paste the link into the body of your email or chat message.
- Start the Meeting: • When it's time to start the meeting, you can return to your calendar in Microsoft Teams, click on the scheduled meeting, and select "Join" to initiate the meeting as the host.
Keep in mind that as the host, you can also invite participants directly from the meeting details by clicking the "Invite" button. This will allow you to send meeting invitations to specific participants.
If you have any issues with finding or copying the meeting link, make sure you're using the desktop version of Microsoft Teams, as some features may be limited in the web version. Additionally, ensure that you are the meeting organizer and have the necessary permissions to start the meeting.
Best regards, IBHADIGHI
Thank you. I have tried exactly this, but here is where the problem happens:
- Copy the Meeting Link: • To copy the meeting link, you can click on it once to highlight it, and then right-click and select "Copy" from the context menu.
I see only the first ~30 characters of the link. When I left-click that, the meeting starts. When I right-click it, I see a context menu that does not have "Copy" or "Copy link" in it. It has things like "Print, Save as, Recast, Search images with google, Create QR code, Translate to English, View page source, View frame source." I tried clicking in Calendar and in Teams, and I never see the full link or have any way to copy it.
Despite four degrees in hard sciences from Stanford and Caltech, I am having a really terrible time trying to use all the Microsoft Outlook-related apps. What I see on my screen doesn't seem to match all the instructions I see people writing online. Rats!
