Microsoft Teams is a robust collaboration platform that enables you to easily communicate and collaborate with your co-workers in real-time. A major highlight of Microsoft Teams is its capability to participate in both scheduled and spontaneous meetings. In this guide, we will demonstrate the steps to join a Microsoft Teams meeting.
Before You Start
Before you can join a Microsoft Teams meeting, there are a few things you need to do. Firstly, you need to have a Microsoft Teams account. If you don’t already have one, you can sign up for free at Microsoft Teams. Once you have an account, you need to download and install the Microsoft Teams app on your device.
Joining a Scheduled Meeting
If you have been invited to a scheduled meeting in Microsoft Teams, you can join it by clicking on the meeting link in your email or calendar invitation. Alternatively, you can open the Microsoft Teams app and click on the “Meetings” tab. From there, you will see all of your upcoming meetings listed. Click on the meeting you want to join, and you will be taken to the meeting lobby.
Joining an Ad Hoc Meeting
If you need to join a meeting that was not scheduled in advance, you can do so by clicking on the “New Meeting” button in the Microsoft Teams app. This will create a new meeting and generate a link that you can share with your colleagues. Once they click on the link, they will be able to join the meeting.

Once you are in the meeting lobby, you will see all of the participants listed. You can also see any files that have been shared during the meeting and any chat messages that have been exchanged. To join the meeting, simply click on the “Join Now” button. You will then be able to hear and see everyone in the meeting.
