Switching to Microsoft Teams as your meeting provider in Microsoft 365 Family can be done, but you may need to adjust your settings and ensure that Teams is properly set up. Here's a general guide on how to do it:

1. Install Microsoft Teams:
   • Download and install Microsoft Teams on your device from the official Microsoft website if you haven't already.
2. Set Up Teams:
   • Open Microsoft Teams and sign in using your Microsoft 365 account credentials.
3. Set Teams as the Default Provider:
   • This step can vary based on the application you are using (e.g., Outlook). For Outlook:
     • Open Outlook.
     • Go to File > Options > Add-ins.
     • Make sure the Teams Meeting add-in is installed and enabled.
     • Go to Calendar options.
     • Under Calendar options, look for the option to add online meeting providers and select Microsoft Teams.
4. Scheduling a Teams Meeting:
   • In Outlook, go to the calendar and create a new event.
   • Click on the Teams Meeting button in the meeting toolbar.
   • This will add the Teams meeting link to the event.
5. Using Teams Directly:
   • Open Microsoft Teams.
   • Go to the Calendar tab on the left sidebar.
   • Click on New Meeting or Meet Now to set up a new meeting directly within Teams.
