If a meeting is scheduled on a reoccurring basis, say everyday at 10am, then it would be good if an automated message with a join link/button pops up at the required time in the Team Chat.

I want to be notified by email when the meeting starts!
Also requested by the following UserVoice.

Currently migrating from Webex to Teams brings this to my attention. Webex has a banner that pops up 5 minutes prior to meeting starting and stays on your screen until 5 minutes after the meeting has started. I find this very helpful to make sure that I am on time to meetings especially when they are scheduled back to back, or I am in the middle of doing work and not paying attention to the time.

Ideally a Persistent notification bar at the top of Teams to jump straight into a meeting rather than finding it in the Calendar.

Agree with the comments from all the colleagues here. Some sort of really obvious popup with a 15 minute reminder and the ability to snooze. Basic usability request. Thanks!

I would like the "Meeting started notification" to have the option of a Banner with an adjustable sound and the ability to select how long the banner stays on your screen.

Teams gives a pop up when someone has started a meeting, but there should be a pop up (persistent perhaps) that states that a meeting is about to start.

We need this - we need emails to be sent to Team members when a meeting is created in a channel. This is vital!

At least put visual indicator on Meeting Tab to indicate a meeting is scheduled now.

In addition - please add an option that will allow organizers to delay the 'Meeting has started' prompt/pop-up. At times it is important for the organizer to join early to prepare for a meeting and because of this notification we consistently have people joining much earlier than the actual start time.

We need this!
When your scheduled Cisco Webex meeting is about to start, Cisco Webex Teams can send you a notification so you can join easily and make sure that you're on time for the meeting. You can choose when you'd like to receive notifications for scheduled meetings and calls, or turn them off

Please add meeting reminders - the "X has started the Meeting" notification is a good start, but we need a 15min and 5 min reminder - and click to Join reminder.

Looks like all the valid points are listed. Future next steps should be based around end goal. Since Outlook sends reminders and notifications it is going to be hard to convince users to use MS Teams calendar instead of Outlook. However, if there are things MS Teams can do that Outlook can't (ie. capture meeting information, comms, collaboration within a channel, we should probably think about adding to the list of items MS Teams meeting tools can do that Outlook and WebEx can't do. (stepping off of soap box now ;-)

I agree! The application needs better meeting invite notifications, especially a few minutes before the start of the meeting.

I agree with JR below. I've missed meetings entirely due to not having a reminder for the meeting. This is very much needed and one of the biggest gripes that I've heard about Teams meetings. Many people prefer WebEx for this reason alone.

This is totally needed. We're primarily a Webex shop, and by default Webex will notify 15min before the meeting starts, and allows us to snooze (default 5min before meeting starts) or dismiss.
Corporate culture here is if you don't get a Webex reminder half the folks will miss the meeting.
Folks won't use Teams to schedule Meetings because it doesn't pop-up a meeting notification reminder. Argh. -

Would appreciate better meeting notifications for the mobile app as well.

when a meeting starts pop a notification that has a join button like skype for business does/did.
