Scheduling a meeting

Microsoft Teams lets you organize team meetings or have one-off audio/video calls with your colleagues.

There are four meeting types that you can use with Teams based on the context:

• Scheduled meetings: When you want to schedule meeting at a future date with an individual or colleagues.
• Meet in a channel: when you need to hold an open meeting in your team, create a meeting in a channel.

• Teams live events: when you want to broadcast video and meeting content to a large online audience.
