How to Set Up a Persistent Link in Teams Meetings

Instructions to create a persistent Teams Meetings link using Microsoft Teams or Outlook calendar.

Introduction

There are two ways to create a stable, on-demand Microsoft Teams meeting link that you can share in email or other communications: 

• Create a meeting link with the Meet Now function in Teams. 
• Create a scheduled recurring meeting with no end date with Outlook Calendar. 
  • Note: Microsoft recommends scheduled recurring meeting links for reusable links. 

Meet Now

Note: Using the Meet Now function will create a persistent link that will not appear on your Outlook calendar. 

1. Open Microsoft Teams
2. Select Calendar from the left navigation.

   

3. Click Meet Now at the top right.

   

4. Add a meeting name and Click Get a Link to Share

   

5. Click Copy meeting link to your clipboard or save somewhere else to access later. 

   

6. Start and End meetings as needed. (Note: Microsoft states that Meet Now links are only guaranteed for 8 hours, however, Meet Now links have tested to be persistent.)

Outlook Calendar- Recurring Teams Meeting with No End Date 

1. Go to Outlook and click Calendar

   

2. Click Teams Meeting and select Schedule Meeting from the dropdown menu. 

   

3. Add a title to the meeting, Set the date and time, and click Make Recurring

   

4. Select the meeting time, set the Recurrence pattern, set the start date, and Click No End Date, then Click OK

   

5. Click Send (which acts as Save and will add the meeting to your Calendar)

   

6. You can copy and share the meeting link by clicking on the meeting in Outlook calendar, select Copy join link, and share the link through email, chat, or other communications. 

   

7. Start and End meetings as needed. (Note: Microsoft states that recurring meeting links will expire 60 days after the last occurrence of a recurring meeting.)
