## What is MSTeams.link

MSTeams.link is a free URL shortener built specifically for Microsoft Teams meeting links. A Teams meeting invite URL can be very long, which is awkward to share by SMS, email, chat, or on a slide. MSTeams.link turns that long link into a short link such as https://msteams.link/AB12 that points to the same meeting. Anyone who opens the short link is redirected to the original Teams meeting. Basic shortening is free and needs no account. In addition to the short link, the tool creates a scannable QR code for the meeting and, for logged-in users, shows click statistics for the links they create.

## How to shorten a Teams meeting link

1. Open the tool at https://msteams.link/en/ (or https://msteams.link/fr/ in French).
2. Copy your full Microsoft Teams meeting link (the "Join the meeting" URL) from the invitation.
3. Paste the long Teams meeting link into the input field on the homepage.
4. Submit to generate your short link (for example, https://msteams.link/AB12). No account is required for basic shortening.
5. Copy the short link and share it by SMS, email, chat, or on a slide. You can also use the generated QR code so people can join by scanning it.
6. Optional: log in to see click statistics for the links you create, and install the Chrome extension to shorten links faster.

## Key facts

- Free: basic Teams meeting-link shortening is free and requires no account.
- QR code: every shortened meeting gets a QR code that opens the meeting when scanned.
- Statistics: logged-in users can see click statistics for the links they create.
- Chrome extension: available to shorten Teams meeting links more quickly. See https://msteams.link/en/extension
- Premium (optional, paid): removes the ad/loading interstitial so your links redirect instantly (no ads).
- Premium pricing: 4.99 EUR per month or 53.89 EUR per year, with a 7-day free trial.
- The short link points to the original Teams meeting; opening it redirects the user to that meeting.
- Short link format: msteams.link/ followed by 4 characters (letters and digits), e.g. msteams.link/AB12.
- Outlook add-in: a ribbon button in Outlook (web, new Outlook, Mac, Windows) that replaces the long Teams link in an invitation with a short link. See https://msteams.link/en/outlook
- Chrome extension automatic mode (version 0.4+): when enabled, it puts the short link and its QR code directly in Outlook web Teams invitations as soon as Teams meeting is turned on; the original link stays as "System reference" so the Join button and Teams Rooms keep working.

## Where to find a Teams meeting link in Outlook

In Outlook (web, new or classic), open the meeting from the Calendar and scroll to the "Microsoft Teams meeting" block at the bottom of the invitation. Right-click the link after "Join:" and choose "Copy link" ("Copy Hyperlink" in classic Outlook). The block only appears once a new meeting has been saved or sent. Links copied from received emails may be rewritten by Microsoft Defender Safe Links (…safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=…); copy the link from the meeting in your calendar instead.
