In outlook 365, users are experiencing issues with teams auto generating a meeting link whenever they create a new meeting. Users can manually disable this by unchecking “Add online meeting to all meetings” under file > options > calendar. However, there has to be a solution for firm wide change.
Goal: Prevent teams from being the default meeting provider whenever user creates a new meeting.
1. Deploy the following registry key to users through group policy.
User configuration > Preferences > windows setting > registry > new registry item
Key path: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Settings\Data
Value name: global_onlinemeetings_enabledbydefault
Value data:
{"name":"onlinemeetings_enabledbydefault","itemClass":"RoamingSetting","id":"","scope":"global","parentSetting":"","secondaryKey":"","status":"PENDINGSYNC","type":"Bool","timestamp":0,"metadata":"","value":"false","isFirstSync":"false","source":"UserOverride"
2. Deploy the second set of registry values:
Key path: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar
Value name: OnlineMeetings_EnabledByDefault
Value data: 0
3. Once the reg value are deployed, Microsoft teams should not auto generate a link every time a user creates a new meeting.
