Updated January 20, 2026: We've updated how Teams meeting join links appear in meeting invites. As part of the broader rollout of the new, shorter meeting URL format, meeting invites now display the full join link directly instead of a labeled "Join the meeting now" hyperlink. This improves link consistency, reliability across clients and email applications, and makes copying and sharing the link easier. This update does not change meeting functionality or attendee experience. Existing Teams and Outlook clients continue to support the new link format.
