Outlook add-in missing after installing new Teams client

I work closely with one company who run multiple internal and external Microsoft Teams meetings each day. We've had multiple issues with the new Teams client, and one particular bugbear is that if I remove the old version of Teams and install the new Teams work or school client, the Outlook addin is missing.

I cannot simply migrate all users to the new Outlook client to resolve this issue, as the new Outlook does not match the look, feel and capabilities of the old version. I need a fix that allows creation of new 'Teams Meetings' from the current version of Outlook, if the new Teams work or school client is the only version of Teams installed.

    I had the problem. There was no TEAMS Add-in as an option in MicroSoft Outlook. Nor was it disabled. But then I went into Programs and Features and saw the 'Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office. I did a repair. Closed and opened Outlook and it was there.

    Hello,

    My name is EngineTyme, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I would be glad to help you.

    I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the Outlook add-in after installing the new Teams client. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

    1. Check if the Teams add-in is enabled in Outlook: Open Outlook and click on File > Options > Add-ins. In the Manage dropdown menu, select COM Add-ins and click Go. Check the box next to Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office and click OK. Restart Outlook and see if the Teams Meeting option appears on the ribbon.
    2. Check if the Teams add-in is disabled in Outlook: If the Teams add-in is not visible in the ribbon, it may be disabled. To enable it, go to File > Options > Add-ins. In the Manage dropdown menu, select Disabled Items and click Go. If the Teams add-in is listed, select it and click Enable. Restart Outlook and see if the Teams Meeting option appears on the ribbon.
    3. Check if the Teams add-in is installed: If the Teams add-in is not installed, you can download and install it from the Microsoft website. Go to the Microsoft Teams website and click on Download Teams. Once the download is complete, install Teams and restart Outlook. The Teams Meeting option should now appear on the ribbon.

    “Give back to the Community. Help the next person who has this issue by indicating if this reply solved your problem. Click Yes or No below. “

    There are many inconsistencies with the new outlook and the new Teams. Many options have disappeared. Drives me nuts! Meetings options can only be found if you create the event, go at the bottom of it and make the changes through the web. I can't even see Tracking Info who accepted, who hasn't etc. And there is no tutorial to help with some of these issues.
