MS Teams fails to send meeting appt to recipients

I am having difficulty sending meeting appointments to recipients in MS Teams. Although I am able to open the window to schedule a Teams meeting, after I enter all of the details and recipients, nothing happens when I hit send. I have tried it repeatedly with no effect. I also tried the web version and got the same results. I am using yahoo email. I am able to send a regular meeting appointment to the recipients within Yahoo mail, but not within Teams. When I select "Meet Now" I am able to get a link to a Teams meeting. I just can't schedule anything in the future. I have rebooted several times, over 2 days, nothing seems to work. As an FYI I am using Office 365 and am using Windows 11 Home.

Thanks!

    Hello @Kris Dhillon

    As I have reviewed, you are able to open the window to schedule a Teams meeting, fill in the details and recipients, but when you press send nothing happens. You mentioned that this occurs both in the desktop app and the web version, and that you are using Yahoo Mail with Office 365 on Windows 11 Home. You also noted that “Meet Now” works fine, but scheduled meetings do not send.

    From what you described, the behavior usually relates to how Teams connects with a calendar service. Although you are able to open the Teams scheduling window and enter meeting details, the meeting cannot be sent because your account is using Yahoo Mail, which is not supported for Teams calendar integration.

    • When you add a Yahoo account to Outlook, it only enables email access (send/receive).
    • Yahoo accounts use IMAP/POP, which do not provide a full calendar service that Teams can use.
    • Microsoft Teams requires an Exchange-based mailbox (Outlook / Microsoft 365) to create and send meeting invitations.

    Because of this, when you click “Send”, Teams has no connected calendar system to process and deliver the meeting invite so nothing happens.

    As I have prefered similar cases, I suggest that you can do following steps and choose which is suitable for your case:

    1 / Manually add Teams link (quick workaround)

    Since Meet Now works, you can do this:

    • Click Meet Now
    • Copy the meeting link
    • Create calendar invite in Yahoo
    • Paste link into invitation

    2/ Use Outlook/Microsoft 365 account (recommended)

    To fully enable Teams scheduling:

    • Create or use an existing Outlook.com / Microsoft 365 account
    • Sign into Teams with that account
    • Use Outlook Calendar or Teams calendar

    After that, you can:

    • “Send” button will work normally
    • Invitations will go out automatically
    • Calendar sync works

    If you still need my assistance, please come back with screenshots or any additional details so I can review it again and see if there’s anything more I can help you with.  

    Wishing you all the best!

    Teams meeting invitations can only be sent from supported Microsoft 365/Exchange accounts, not from consumer email services like Yahoo.

    From the provided information:

    • Scheduling Teams meetings from Outlook or Teams requires a supported Microsoft 365 Business Exchange account.
    • Free or consumer accounts such as @yahoo.com, @gmail.com, @outlook.com, @msn.com, and @hotmail.com are not supported for creating/sending Teams meeting invitations.

    Because the account in use is a Yahoo email account, Teams cannot send out scheduled meeting invitations from that address. This is why:

    • The meeting scheduling window opens and details can be entered.
    • Selecting Send does not result in invitations being delivered to recipients.
    • "Meet now" works because it only generates a join link, but scheduled meetings rely on an Exchange-backed calendar and mailbox to send invites.

    To schedule Teams meetings with invitations that send correctly, use one of these options:

    1. Use a Microsoft 365 Business account with Exchange (for example, via an organization or a paid Microsoft 365 Business/Enterprise subscription) and sign into Teams with that account.
    2. Schedule meetings directly in Teams using that supported Microsoft 365 account and invite attendees from there.

    With the current Yahoo account, only ad-hoc meetings via "Meet now" and sharing the join link manually will work; full calendar-based scheduling with automatic invitations is not supported.
