How to Create a Link from MS Teams for Third Parties to Call Me via Videocall

Microsoft Teams is a popular communication platform that allows you to collaborate with your colleagues, friends, and even third-party users through video calls. In this article, we will guide you on how to create a link from MS Teams for third parties to call you via a video call.

Step 1: Set up a Meeting

The first step is to set up a meeting in MS Teams. To do this, open the Teams application and navigate to the "Calendar" tab on the left-hand side. Click on the "New Meeting" button to create a new meeting.

In the meeting creation window, enter a title for your meeting and specify the date and time. You can also add a description if needed. Once you have filled in the necessary details, click on the "Send" button to create the meeting.

Step 2: Generate the Meeting Link

After creating the meeting, you will see it listed in the calendar. Click on the meeting to open its details. In the meeting details window, you will find the meeting link under the "Join Microsoft Teams Meeting" section. This is the link that you will share with third parties to call you via a video call.

Copy the meeting link by selecting it and pressing Ctrl+C (or right-click and choose "Copy"). You can then share this link with the third parties via email, chat, or any other preferred method of communication.

Step 3: Share the Meeting Link

Now that you have the meeting link, you can share it with the third parties who need to call you via a video call. Simply paste the link into your desired communication channel, such as an email or chat message, and send it to the third party.

Make sure to provide clear instructions to the third party on how to use the link to join the video call. You can mention that they need to click on the link and follow the prompts to join the meeting in MS Teams.

Step 4: Join the Video Call

When the third party clicks on the meeting link you shared, it will open the meeting in their web browser or the Teams application if they have it installed. They may be prompted to enter their name or choose their audio and video settings before joining the video call.

Once they have entered the necessary information, they can click on the "Join" or "Join Now" button to join the video call. They will then be connected to you and can communicate with you through video and audio.

That's it! You have successfully created a link from MS Teams for third parties to call you via a video call. Now you can easily connect with third parties and collaborate effectively using Microsoft Teams.
