Steps
POST to /me/events (or /users/{id}/events) with isOnlineMeeting set to true and onlineMeetingProvider set to "teamsForBusiness".
Read the join link from the response's onlineMeeting.joinUrl property, not the deprecated onlineMeetingUrl field.
Ensure the calling app/token has Calendars.ReadWrite permission scoped appropriately (delegated vs application) — a missing scope can create the event without meeting details populated.
For finer meeting controls (lobby bypass, recording settings), create the onlineMeeting resource directly via POST /me/onlineMeetings and link it, rather than relying solely on event properties.
Once isOnlineMeeting is set true and the provider is chosen on an event, treat both as immutable — you cannot flip isOnlineMeeting back to false or change onlineMeetingProvider afterward.
Known gotchas
Some tenants/app-only auth configurations silently fail to attach a Teams link even though isOnlineMeeting=true is accepted — verify onlineMeeting.joinUrl is actually populated in the response rather than assuming success from a 201 status.
onlineMeetingUrl is deprecated in favor of the nested onlineMeeting.joinUrl; code still reading the old flat field will eventually break.
