    Hello Richmond Chang,Good morning!Thank you for publishing in Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.Based on the description you have shared; we understand that  link Microsoft Teams to my Outlook such that when I create a meeting on Outlook, it generates the Microsoft Teams Meeting invitation altogetherIt's important to know the type of account you're using because each account has a different process and a different support category.What type of account is affected? is Outlook.com account, Hotmail account, or professional/educational account. However, to better understand the problem and provide a solution, we need more details from you, please provide us with the following information. Thank you. 1-Please are you using New Outlook? or the classic one?2-Please I want to get you very well. Do you mean when you schedule a meeting via Outlook, you should able to use Teams to do your meetings and the meeting appears in the team's calendar as well?If am i correct you should add the teams' add-in to your Outlook calendar.

    Microsoft Teams includes the Outlook add-in, which lets you create new Teams meetings directly from Outlook. You can also view, accept, or join meetings in either app.

    Here’s how to add the Microsoft Teams add-in to Microsoft Outlook Classic:

    1. In Outlook, hit the File menu item.
    2. Then select the Options menu and select Add-ins.
    3. In the bottom of the Add-ins dialog you’ll see a drop-down. Go ahead and select COM Add-ins.
    4. Hit Go.
    5. Now check the Microsoft Teams Add in for Office entry and hit OK to close the COM Add-ins dialog.
    6. Return to your Outlook Calendar. You should now see a Microsoft Teams section in your Ribbon as shown above. Reference: Schedule a Microsoft Teams meeting from Outlook - Microsoft Support In the New Outlook when you schedule In the new event form, select the Teams meeting toggle to turn it on.

    Please can you go into your outlook on the web https://outlook.office.com  (sign into your outlook on the web)

    switch to the calendar, new event and check if you can see the teams meeting toggle and turn it on and make a test.

    1. Right-click the Startbutton, and click Run Or window + R
    2. Type **Outlook.exe /safe,**and click OK. And outlook will be open and check the issue

    Reference: Open Outlook in safe mode - Microsoft Support

    -Second, if the issue still persists kindly create a new outlook profile using the control panel

    and open Outlook with the new profile you create

    1. Win+R
    2. Type **Outlook.exe /safe,**and click OK. choose the new profile and open Outlook to check the issue.

    Hello Richmond Chang1,

    Thank you for your reply,

    You are using the old outlook, i mean the classic one, after scheduling your meeting click on Teams meeting

    I can see that you already add the Microsoft add-in to your classic outlook.

    We look forward to your reply. This requested information will help us narrow down the scenario and find the right troubleshooting. We will continue to assist you based on the information you provide. I sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation.

    Sincerely

    Can you advise if mine is the old one or new one? It seems like the team meeting toggle button is missing for me. To be honest I am not sure what type of account I am using, but it has a corporate domain, its used for the company I am working in.

    I have the add in:

    it does not have the toggle button nor teams invitation
