    Dear @Jordan Stoick

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum and I understand you’re unable to add a Teams meeting link when creating a calendar invite in Outlook. 

    To help me better understand the situation and assist you effectively, could you please share a few details such as:    

    1/ Are you currently using New Outlook (app or web) or Classic Outlook? 

    2/ When you create and send a calendar invite in Outlook, what exact steps do you follow to perform this action? (Which buttons or menu options do you click?) 

    3/ Could you share a screenshot of the area where the Teams add-in is missing, as you mentioned? 

    4/ What Outlook version are you using? 

    • In Classic Outlook, you can check this under File > Office Account > About Outlook.

    If the Teams meeting add-in is missing from Outlook, you can follow these troubleshooting steps:

    1. Close both Outlook and Teams: Ensure that both applications are completely closed before proceeding.
    2. Restart Teams: Open the Teams client and sign in.
    3. Restart Outlook: After signing in to Teams, open Outlook again.
    4. Check Add-ins: In Outlook, go to File > Options > Add-ins. Look for the Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office in the Active Application Add-ins list. If it’s not there, check the Disabled Application Add-ins list and enable it if found.
    5. Verify Installation: Ensure you have the correct version of Office installed (Office 2013, 2016, 2019, or 2021) and that you are not using the Microsoft Store version of Office, as it does not support the Teams add-in.
    6. Registry Settings: If the add-in still doesn't appear, check the registry settings to ensure the LoadBehavior entry for the add-in is set to 3. You can find this under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\TeamsAddin.FastConnect.
    7. Run Diagnostics: As an administrator, you can run the Teams Add-in Missing in Outlook diagnostic in the Microsoft 365 admin center to verify that the affected users have the correct policies to enable the Teams Outlook add-in.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider reinstalling the Teams meeting add-in or checking for any updates to Outlook and Teams.
