This is a convenience feature in Outlook that is enabled only if you have a Teams licence, specifically that when you create a meeting in Outlook, it sets it as an online meeting.

You can turn this off, but last I checked can also set it to stuff like Google Meet, Zoom, WebEx, Facetime, etc if you have the relevant plug-in for Outlook.

Why the fuck would I want to do that?

"Oh sorry, I accidentally joined the Teams meeting instead of the Zoom meeting, nobody was there for 15 minutes so I left"

I got sufficiently pissed off that this that I ranted about it: https://blog.dijit.sh/teams-microsoft-monopoly/

It would automatically reactivate that "teams" toggle.

That remembers me a virus that was adding himself to every e-mail sent by outlook. What was its name again ?
