Zoom is default in meeting invitations. Can I add Teams as an alternative when creating a meeting?

    Hi Wade,

    Thanks for your response.

    You can choose directly between Teams and Zoom while creating the event, as I mentioned previously.

    The setting in Settings is only used to determine which app will be selected by default whenever you create a new event. However, while creating the event, you can still switch between Teams and Zoom without having to use the app that has been set as the default.

    If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to share them in the comments on this post so I can continue to support you.

    I look forward to continuing the conversation.

    That's a lot of steps. Previously on old (GOOD) outlook ribbon I could click on Teams or Zoom as I was creating a meeting. I did not have to go into settings to change which one I want to use. MSFT really is not in touch with actual users of Outlook or many of their products. Old Outlook was fine; no need to ruin it by redeveloping it.

    Hi Wade,

    Thank you for your response and for clarifying the issue.

    To switch from Zoom to Microsoft Teams when creating a meeting, you can select the Microsoft Teams option here:

     If you encounter any difficulties at any step, or if the settings shown in the screenshot I provided are not available in your Outlook interface, please let me know. I will continue to assist you.

    No, you completely misunderstood and assumed wrong. In New (VERY BAD) Outlook my default is Zoom, so when I create a mtg invite, Zoom is the only thing that I can use in the mtg. I would also like to be able to create a mtg invite that uses Teams as an alternative (not zoom and teams in same mtg). Nothing in Calendar lets me have an option of easily using Zoom or Teams when creating an invitation.
