# MS Teams - Joining a Meeting

## Goals:

Provide instruction on how to join a Teams Meeting

## Desktop

There are several ways to join a meeting in Teams:

### From your calendar

Click **Meetings** on the left side of the app and you'll see a list of all your meetings for the week. Find the meeting you want, and then click **Join**.

**From chat**

If the meeting has already begun, it appears in your recent chat list. Select the meeting in your chat list and then click **Join** from the chat header.

**From a notification**

If you're busy in Teams, you'll receive a notification that you've been invited to a meeting, and you can click **Join** there.

### From a channel

If a meeting is happening in a channel, you’ll see an invitation to join, relevant content, and who’s in the meeting. If the meeting is scrolled out of view in the conversation, you'll get a notification in the channel. Just click **Join** to choose your settings and join the meeting.

### From Outlook

You can also join a meeting from a calendar invite in Outlook. If you click the link in your email invite, you'll be directed to Teams and can join your meeting from there.

## Mobile

Both before and during the meeting, you'll see the meeting notice in your chat list or a channel conversation.

You can join from that meeting notice or from the **Meetings** calendar.
