    Hi @Patricia Artiga-Corte, 

    Thank you for reaching out regarding your Outlook meeting invitation.  

    Based on your sharing, you need to add a Microsoft Teams link to an invitation that has already been distributed, so you may update the existing event rather than canceling or recreating it.

    These modifications need to be performed by the original meeting organizer. While you have full authority to adjust details for events you have created, you will not be able to edit meeting information for sessions organized by others.

    Below are the steps to add the Teams link based on your version of Outlook: 

    Scenario 1: for New Outlook and Outlook on the Web 

    1. Open the meeting directly from your Calendar. 
    2. Select Edit. 
    3. Locate the Teams meeting toggle and switch it to On. User's image
      1. Click Send to distribute the updated invitation to all invitees. 

    Scenario 2: for classic Outlook for Windows 

    1. Open the meeting from your Calendar. 
    2. In the top ribbon, select the Teams Meeting icon to generate the join details. User's image
    3. Select Send Update so that attendees receive the revised calendar entry.

    If the Teams meeting option is not visible, please consider the following: 

    • In new Outlook: Ensure you are signed into both Outlook and Teams using the same Microsoft 365 work or school account, and that you are using the latest Teams client. 
    • In classic Outlook: Verify that the Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office is enabled by navigating to File > Options > Add-ins. 

    Please be aware that scheduling Teams meetings via Outlook is specifically supported for Microsoft 365 Business (Exchange) work or school accounts. This functionality is not available for personal Outlook.com accounts or third-party providers such as Gmail, Yahoo, or iCloud.

    I hope this information helps you resolve the issue promptly. Please let me know if you require any further assistance.

    Open the existing Outlook meeting, turn it into an online Teams meeting, then send an update so all attendees receive the Teams link.

    Depending on the Outlook client:

    • In classic Outlook for Windows with the Teams add-in:
      1. Open the meeting from the calendar.
      2. On the ribbon, select Teams Meeting (or press Alt+H, T, M).
      3. Outlook inserts the Teams meeting details and join link into the body.
      4. Select Send Update so attendees receive the new Teams link.
    • In new Outlook (where Teams is integrated):
      1. Open the meeting from the calendar.
      2. Turn on the Teams meeting toggle in the event window.
      3. The Teams join info is added to the invite.
      4. Select Send update.

    Attendees will now see the Teams join link in the updated meeting invite.
