Microsoft Teams meetings are the default meeting provider with the recent Outlook update. When you schedule a meeting, a Teams meeting is added automatically.

We understand this creates confusing meeting invitations when a Bluescape meeting is also added. We have provided the necessary steps to disable the MS Teams automatic scheduler to solve this.

## Disabling MS Teams on Windows

1. In Outlook, select **File** and then **Options**.
2. Select the **Add-ins** tab of the **Outlook Options** dialog box.
3. Confirm that **Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office** is listed in the **Active Application Add-ins** list.
4. If the Teams Meeting Add-in is listed in the **Active Application Add-ins** list, select **Disabled Items** in **Manage**.
5. Select **COM add-ins** and then select **Go…**.
6. Uncheck the checkbox next to **Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office**.
7. Select **OK** and restart Outlook.

## Disabling MS Teams on Mac

1. Select the **Outlook** menu at the top of your display.
2. Select **Preferences**.
3. Under the category, select **Calendar**.
4. Select **Configure** next to **Add online meeting to all events**.
5. Ensure the **Add online meeting to all meetings** is not selected.
6. Click **Save**.

If you have not installed our [Bluescape Outlook plugin](https://community.bluescape.com/t/outlook-plugin-for-bluescape-meetings/1656), we recommend doing so to schedule one-click meetings quickly.
