1) Access the meeting link

All you need to join a Teams meeting is the meeting link. Sometimes you will find it in a confirmation email or posted on an event website.  

Other times you might receive an email invitation directly from the organizer asking if you can attend. The invitation will include the meeting link. If you choose Accept or Yes, the event will be added to your calendar in Outlook and Teams.
