Outlook: Adjust Online Meeting Settings


Overview: 

Microsoft recently allows users to automatically add an online meeting room to every meeting. By default, this feature is turned off but you may enable this setting by following the instructions below.

 

NOTE: This only applies to new meetings made after you have modified this setting in Office 365. Any meetings that were scheduled prior to changing the setting will need to be converted in the Outlook Calendar. It is also recommended to change these settings with Outlook on the Web so it transfers to your Outlook application automatically.

  1. Go to https://onecampus.radford.edu/ 
  1. Log into OneCampus with your Radford User ID and password.

  1. Once logged in, click the gearicon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
