How do I copy the link to my Microsoft Teams meeting?

Your Microsoft Teams meeting link is the Join the meeting URL created when a meeting is scheduled. Below is how to copy it from Microsoft Teams or Outlook (desktop & web) — and how to create one if you don't have a meeting yet — then shorten it into a clean, shareable msteams.link URL.

Short answer: open the meeting in your Teams or Outlook calendar, then right-click Join (or the meeting link) and choose Copy link. During a meeting, open People → Share invite → Copy meeting link.

Other situations

During a meeting

In the meeting controls, select People.
In the participants pane, select Share invite.

For a recurring meeting

Open the meeting in your Calendar (any occurrence of the series).
Copy the link next to Join, or right-click Join → Copy link.
All occurrences of a series share the same link: shorten it once and reuse it.

In the Teams mobile app (iPhone, Android)

Tap Calendar, then tap the meeting.
Tap Share (or Share invite, depending on the version).
Choose Copy or Copy link and paste it where you need it.

In Microsoft Teams (free)

These links start with teams.live.com/meet/: MSTeams.link shortens them too.

For a channel meeting

Open the team, then the channel where the meeting was scheduled.
Open the meeting from the channel posts or from your Calendar.
Right-click Join → Copy link, as for any other meeting.

How to create a Microsoft Teams meeting link

Schedule a meeting to generate a link

In Microsoft Teams, go to Calendar → New meeting (or in Outlook, create an event and turn on the Teams meeting toggle).
Add a title and save. Teams automatically generates a Join the meeting link.
Open the meeting and copy that link using the steps above.

Common problems

The link is not there yet

On a new meeting, Outlook adds the Teams “Join” block only when the meeting is saved or sent. Save it, then open it again from the calendar to copy the link.

The copied link starts with “safelinks”

Links in received emails can be rewritten by Microsoft Defender Safe Links (…safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=…). Copy the link from the meeting in your calendar instead of the email.

Which link should I share?

Share the link after Join. The long “System reference” link opens the same meeting and is used by meeting-room devices.
