Our meetings feature comes with a new UI and makes scheduling even more intuitive and transparent.
Schedule a meeting with just a few clicks.

Change the meeting duration and set an individual date. Use known Outlook settings e.g. show the meeting as “free/busy”, choose a category, set reminder and / or decide on the Outlook sensitivity.

Access our meetings feature either via the drop down menu or via the sidebar. This is also where you can see all scheduled meetings to the issue.
The UI when scheduling a meeting is all the same like in Jira Cloud (see above & below).

Feature details
Jira administrators can configure ready-to-use meetings options for users via our Presets for Meetings.
Selecting the most suitable Preset then provides the user with pre-filled message text, designated participants, meeting-sharing options, and integrated automations (including Jira comments). However, some of these settings, can be adjusted by the user (e.g. content of the message via “Templates”).
This approach streamlines communication by eliminating the need for the user to create a meeting and its content framework from the beginning.
...
Presets for Meetings typically include pre-set content. However, you can customize the meeting's purpose by directly editing the description. Alternatively, choose a different template from the available options.
...
When scheduling a meeting, you can customize the sharing settings to control who can join the meeting right from the Jira issue. This is particularly useful for sensitive topics, enabling you to choose between public and private access.
🔐 Private: Meeting default permissions are respected, meaning only meeting attendees can access the meeting and its associated chat.
🏢 Public: Public access allows any user logged into their MS 365 account to join the meeting. Even those users being involved in the issue, but not explicitly invited to the meeting, may participate, if they choose.
...
Checking your colleagues' availability in real time before calling saves valuable time. To optimize workflows and eliminate the need to switch between tools, view MS Teams availabilities directly within Jira's glance view.
...
Whenever a meeting is scheduled directly from a Jira issue, our meetings integration automatically sends a separate Outlook meeting invitation.
Access your meeting details seamlessly through both your Jira and Microsoft Outlook calendars (see: Work with Outlook calendars in Jira). This integrated approach maintains information consistency across your work applications.
...
Feature configuration
We provide primary configuration options at the admin level (refer to: admin configuration) along with some minor configurations available for individual users (refer to: user configuration).
With Presets for Meetings, it is beneficial for the admin to preconfigure these settings for meetings when using Jira. This enables team members to easily select the most appropriate meeting Preset that aligns with their specific needs.
Information
The meetings functionality is readily available without any specific prerequisites. It is activated automatically when you enable this feature in the admin settings by the Jira administrator.
You can schedule a meeting using either simple or advanced mode, depending on your need for additional settings.
