Pro Tips for Adding Attachments to Microsoft Teams Meetings

1. Schedule Your Teams Meeting First
   Start by creating a meeting in Microsoft Teams. Click on “Calendar” from the left sidebar and select “New meeting.” Fill in the meeting title, attendees, date, and time.

2. Open the Scheduled Meeting Details
   Once the meeting is scheduled, click on the event from your calendar to open the meeting details. This is where you can edit and manage the meeting.

3. Use Outlook for More File Options
   If your Teams is connected to Outlook, click “View in Outlook.” Outlook gives you more flexibility to attach files directly from your device or OneDrive.

4. Attach Files from OneDrive or Local Storage
   In Outlook, scroll to the bottom of the meeting invite and click “Attach File.” You can choose files from your device or OneDrive. These files will then appear in the Teams meeting invite.

5. Use the Files Tab in Teams
   If you prefer to stay within Teams, open the meeting invite and go to the “Files” tab. Click “Share” or “Upload” to add documents, PDFs, images, or spreadsheets related to the meeting.

Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

1. Attaching Files Without Scheduling First
   You can’t attach files to a meeting that hasn’t been created. Always schedule your meeting before trying to add attachments.

2. Forgetting to Set File Permissions
   Files shared from OneDrive or SharePoint may not be accessible without proper permissions. Always double-check and adjust them if needed.

3. Confusing Files Tab with Chat
   Files uploaded in the “Files” tab stay in the meeting record, while files shared in chat are only visible during the meeting conversation.

4. Uploading Last Minute
   Adding attachments right before the meeting can cause delays. Upload and share well in advance so attendees can review beforehand.

5. Sharing Files That Aren’t Synced
   If you attach from cloud storage, make sure the file is synced and saved. Unsynced or open files may not upload correctly.
