In Microsoft Teams, a Meeting ID is automatically generated for every meeting you schedule. You don't manually create the ID yourself, but you can easily find and share it after setting up your meeting. The process involves scheduling the meeting and then accessing the details.
Here’s how to get the automatically generated Meeting ID and Passcode for your Teams meeting, based on the standard procedure:
Finding Your Teams Meeting ID
The key to obtaining your Teams Meeting ID and Passcode is to first schedule the meeting in your calendar. Once the meeting exists, you can access its details to find the required information.
Follow these steps:
- Create a New Meeting: Go to your Teams Calendar. In the top-right corner, click the "New Meeting" button. This opens the scheduling form.
- Schedule the Meeting: Fill in all the necessary details for your meeting. This includes providing a title for the meeting, adding required and optional attendees, setting the correct date and time, and adding any relevant notes or agenda items. Once all details are entered, click "Send" to create the meeting invitation and add it to everyone's calendar.
- Edit the Meeting: Return to your Teams Calendar. Find the meeting you just created and double-click or right-click on it, then select "Edit". This allows you to view and modify the meeting details.
- Copy Meeting Info: In the meeting details window, scroll down to the meeting information section. Here, you will find the automatically generated Meeting ID and Passcode. Copy these details.
Note: You can typically find this information in the meeting invitation details, often included in the joining instructions.
Once you have the Meeting ID and Passcode, you can share them with participants who might join via a different method, such as a Teams device or dial-in option (if enabled).
While you cannot choose or create a custom meeting ID, this process ensures that each scheduled meeting has a unique identifier for easy access.
