    Hello @Laura Calcote,

    Thank you for reporting this issue. I understand how confusing it must be when clicking “Send” does not produce any response.

    To help narrow down the cause and better assist you, could you please provide a bit more information?

    First, may I confirm which platform you are using: Teams Desktop, Web, or Mobile? If you are currently using the Teams Desktop app, could you kindly try creating and sending the meeting via the Teams web version as well: https://teams.microsoft.com

    This will help us determine whether the behavior is related to the client or not.

    Additionally, could you please check if you are able to create and send a meeting using Outlook (calendar)? This will help us understand whether the issue might be related to the underlying calendar service.

    If possible, it would be very helpful if you could share:

    • A screenshot or screen recording of the behavior
    • The step-by-step actions you take before clicking “Send”

    I will try to reproduce the same scenario in my environment based on your steps.

    Lastly, may I ask if anyone else in your organization is experiencing the same issue, or if this appears to be isolated to your account?

    Your confirmation on whether the issue also occurs on the web version will be especially helpful.

    Thank you very much for your cooperation, I look forward to your update.

    Best regards,

    Try the following steps to narrow down and resolve the issue when sending a Teams meeting invite:

    1. Check how the meeting is being created
      • In Teams, go to Calendar on the left.
      • Select New meeting, fill in the details, add required attendees, then select Send.
      • If nothing happens, try creating a very simple test meeting (no channel, 1 attendee, near‑future time) to see if it sends.
    2. Use the meeting link as a workaround
      If the invite isn’t sending but the meeting object is created:
      • Open the meeting in your Teams calendar.
      • At the top of the meeting details, select Share > Copy join link.
      • Paste that link into an email or chat so attendees can join even if the calendar invite is not going out correctly.
    3. Try rescheduling or editing the meeting
      • Open the meeting from the Teams calendar, adjust the time slightly, and select Send update.
      • If the meeting already exists but updates won’t send, delete it and recreate a new one, then send again.
    4. Check for Outlook/Teams add‑in issues (if scheduling from Outlook)
      If the meeting is being created from classic Outlook using the New Teams Meeting button and Send does nothing or errors:
      • Use the classic Teams add‑in for classic Outlook troubleshooter described in the Teams Meeting add‑in article to repair the add‑in.
      • Ensure Outlook is classic Outlook for Windows (not the new Outlook) and that Microsoft Teams and Office 2016/2019/2021 are installed on the same PC.
    5. Avoid long‑open drafts when using Outlook delegates
      If acting as a delegate in Outlook and sending on someone else’s calendar, a known issue can prevent meetings from saving/sending correctly when drafts sit open for a long time and autosave runs. To avoid this:
      • Do not leave the meeting request open for hours before sending.
      • Either send the meeting within about 1.5 hours of first saving it, or turn off/reduce Outlook AutoSave to Drafts (File > Options > Mail > Save Messages).
      • As an alternative, create and send the meeting from Outlook on the web, which is not affected by this specific issue.

    If none of these steps help, test from a different client (Teams desktop vs. Teams web, or Outlook vs. Teams) and, if the problem persists across all of them, contact your Microsoft 365/Teams admin or Microsoft Support with details of the account, client used, and any error messages.
