In short: Microsoft Teams has no personal meeting room like Zoom’s personal meeting ID. To get a link you can reuse, create a recurring meeting with no end date: every occurrence uses the same link, and it stays valid as long as it is used at least once a year. Turn it into a short link to put it in your signature or on your website.
Zoom users are used to a personal meeting link that never changes. In Teams, every meeting gets its own link. So how do you give clients, students or colleagues one link that always works?
Is my Teams meeting link always the same?
No. Each meeting you schedule, and each Meet now, gets a new link. The only exception is a recurring series: all its occurrences share the same link.
How to create a permanent Teams meeting link
- In the Teams or Outlook calendar, create a new meeting called, for example, “My meeting room”.
- Set it to repeat (every week or every weekday) with no end date.
- Open the meeting options and choose who can bypass the lobby, so guests wait until you let them in.
- Save, then copy the link of the meeting: see how to copy a Teams meeting link.
You can use this link any day, even outside the scheduled time slots.
How long does this link last?
According to Microsoft, a recurring meeting with no end date expires one year after it was last joined, accessed or updated. In practice, a link you use regularly does not expire. Details in does a Teams meeting link expire?
Make it short and easy to share
Even the newest Teams links contain a long number and a random code. Paste yours on msteams.link to get a link such as msteams.link/AB12, easy to put in an email signature, a booking page or on a QR code.
Good to know
- Use one permanent link per purpose (clients, team, office hours) rather than one for everything: chats and recordings stay grouped by meeting.
- If the link has leaked, delete the series and create a new one: the old link stops working.
- Keep the lobby on for a link shared publicly.
