In recent months, there have been countless reports of users being unable to create a meeting in Microsoft Teams. The error message reads,Unable to create meeting.Something went wrong. Please try again. No matter how many times you try, Microsoft Teams continues to throw the same error!

According to information shared by affected users who were able to rectify the issue, it’s usually a corrupt Teams cache, incorrect time zone, or conflicts with other versions of Microsoft Teams to blame.

If you can’t schedule meetings in the new Microsoft Teams for personal use, it’s an ongoing issue, and Microsoft is working on a fix. You can track the resolution status of the issue on theofficial website. This, however, doesn’t affect theMeet nowoption, so use that!

What can I do if Microsoft Teams is unable to create meeting?

1. Clear Microsoft Teams cache

In 3 out of 5 cases,clearing the Microsoft Teams cachehelps when you can’t create meetings in Windows and encounter an error.

If you are unable to create or schedule meetings in Microsoft Teams on Mac, clear the cache in the following folder:/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Teams/Cache

2. Set the correct time zone in Microsoft Teams

For some users, it was the incorrect time zone to blame for the inability to create meetings in Microsoft Teams. All you have to do is select the correct time zone on theNew meetingsscreen.

To do that, go to theCalendarsection > select a date for the meeting > choose the time zone you are in from the dropdown menu > fill out the other details > click onSave.

3. Uninstall any other versions of Microsoft Teams

For some users, deleting all versions of Microsoft Teams from the PC and then reinstalling the one they needed, whether for work or home use, helped when they were unable to create or schedule meetings.

In this case, I will recommend using aneffective software uninstaller toolto clear any leftover files and Registry entries, which might trigger issues on reinstallation.

4. Enable the Microsoft Teams add-in in Outlook

If you can’t create a Microsoft Teams meeting in Outlook, the Teams meeting add-in, a critical requirement, might be disabled. For a few, the add-in kept disabling automatically on subsequent reboots, in which case, you will have to modify the Registry as listed next.

5. Reconfigure the Registry to never disable Outlook’s Microsoft Teams add-in

If you were unable to create meetings in Microsoft Teams, whether via the dedicated app or Outlook, one of these fixes should have helped resolve the issue.

In case the problem persists, it, most likely, has to do with the bug acknowledged by Microsoft, and you should wait for a resolution from Microsoft’s end. For the time being, you canuse Microsoft Teams Web(the web version)!
