Heads Up with the Outlook add-in

The Outlook add-in lets organizers create Microsoft Teams meetings with Heads Up. This option is available to Enterprise workspaces on a pilot. For automatic updates to eligible meetings, use automatic Heads Up for Microsoft Outlook.

​

Deploy the add-in

A Microsoft 365 Exchange or Global administrator can deploy the add-in to workspace members:

1. Open Granola for Outlook in Microsoft Marketplace.
2. Select Get it now and sign in with your Microsoft 365 administrator account.
3. Choose the users or groups who should receive the add-in, then accept the requested permissions and complete deployment.

See Microsoft’s Office add-in deployment guide for licensing, role, and assignment requirements. After deployment, a Granola workspace admin must enable the feature in Granola. Each organizer must use the Microsoft 365 account connected to Granola. Personal Outlook.com accounts are not supported.

​

Create and check a meeting

1. Create an event in Outlook and add its title, start time, and end time.
2. Open Apps and select Add Granola meeting.
3. Complete the Microsoft permission prompt if it appears.
4. Add participants and any other meeting details, then save the event.

The add-in creates a Microsoft Teams meeting and adds its Heads Up link as a location. Existing rooms and other locations remain on the event. Open the Heads Up link after saving the event. Check that the page shows the meeting details, then select Join meeting to continue to Microsoft Teams.
