Course Transcript - Instructor In this movie, I want to schedule a Skype for Business meeting using Outlook 2016.

If you need to schedule a Skype for Business meeting on a Macintosh, you should refer to the technique that we saw in another movie where we scheduled a meeting using the Office 365 web calendar. Before we jump into Outlook, here in the Skype for Business application I can go to the meetings section and I can see a list of any meetings that are on my calendar for today, but there is no option here to create a new meeting.

Set up a Skype for Business meeting in Outlook Modified on: Wed, 14 Feb, 2018 at 2:12 PM You can use Outlook or Outlook Web App to schedule a Skype meeting-the same way you schedule meetings normally but with one or two extra clicks. If your account is configured for dial-in conferencing, the Skype meeting request will automatically include call-in information (phone number and conference ID). If you don’t use an Outlook program (or Windows), you can set up new meetings using Skype for Business Web Scheduler. Access it at, or learn more at.

Open Outlook, and go to your calendar.
On the Home tab ribbon, in the Skype Meeting section, click New Skype Meeting. Set up the meeting as you typically would:.
In the To box, type the email address of each person you’re inviting, separated by semicolons. In the Subject box, type a name for the meeting. If you’ll have in-person attendees, either click Room Finder, in the Options section of the Meeting tab, and then find a room or, in the Location box, type a meeting location, such as a conference room.
Select a start time and end time. NOTES To look for a time that works for everyone, click Scheduling Assistant, in the Show section of the Meeting tab ribbon. In the meeting area, type an agenda. Be careful not to change any of the Skype meeting information. IMPORTANT Scheduling a meeting with the default options, like we just did, is suitable for small, internal meetings, such as casual meetings with a few coworkers. If you have a meeting with people outside your company, or you’re scheduling a large event, change the meeting options before sending the invites to better fit your meeting requirements.
In the meeting request, on the Skype Meeting section of the Meeting ribbon, click Meeting Options, and then select the appropriate options.
