Microsoft teams doesn't send invitation by email

Hello,

I purchased a Microsoft Teams license for small businesses. My goal was to use Teams exclusively for meetings.

I have completed the configuration, except for the part where you connect Google Calendar with Teams.

However, I tried creating several events with different people. They are on three different domain names: one of them uses Teams and Outlook, while the other two do not use either Teams or Outlook. I also added my professional email with my personal domain, as well as a Gmail address.

In all cases, I never received any meeting invitation nor calendar invite.

Thank you.

    Dear Anonymous4445,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A. 

    Thank you for sharing these details. Based on my research, with Microsoft Teams Essentials, you do not need to manage your domain in Microsoft 365 because this plan does not include domain or email hosting services. Teams Essentials is designed as a standalone solution for meetings and chat, without Exchange Online or the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.

    Since you want to keep your current email provider and do not plan to use Outlook for email, here’s what you need to know:

    • Teams Essentials does not send email invitations automatically because it does not have an integrated email or calendar service.
    • This is by design for customers who want a lightweight meeting solution without migrating their email.

    You can create the meeting in Teams, then Copy the meeting link and send it manually using your existing email provider.

    If you later decide you need automatic email invitations and domain management, you will need to upgrade to a Microsoft 365 plan that includes Exchange Online. This allows you to add and verify your domain in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center and manage email through Microsoft’s infrastructure.

    You can refer to this article: Compare Teams Essentials and Microsoft 365 plans

    I hope this information helps point you in the right direction. If you run into any issues while trying the steps, or if something still doesn’t feel quite right, please don’t hesitate to reach out again. I’ll do my best to support you however I can.  

    Looking forward to hearing back from you with any updates or additional details.
