You will notice a few differences between this email and a normal email.  First there is no cc line only a  field where you enter the emails of those you wish to invite to join the conference, a subject area, a location area which can be “Online” or “Your Own Office or Computer” or whatever you choose and a start and end time for the conference.  Once you fill all of these in with the appropriate information, click send and you are done. 

Those receiving the invitation should click on accept if they intend to join the conference so that Outlook will place the conference notation with the message above in their Outlook calendar.  Otherwise they will have to locate your email and click on the Join Online Meeting when the time comes.  If it is added to the calendar, they can bring up the calendar entry by double clicking the notation and either click on  or click on “Join Online Meeting” in the message.  Note:  Participants may join the conference by phone by calling the number and entering the code when prompted.
