If you’re using Microsoft Teams for real-time collaboration and messaging with colleagues, there are many ways to schedule meeting, but the easiest method is to perform the task within the app.
Using the Teams apps to schedule a work meeting, you can select a channel allowing the entire team to join, or you can invite people individually. You can use the Scheduling assistant, which shows all attendees availability that can help you find the time that works for everyone. Also, when you schedule the meeting, a post will appear in “Posts” in the selected channel and the agenda, content, notes and recordings are all captured in the channel.
