Microsoft Teams Missing Basic Options

Question

Our organization's setup of Microsoft Teams does not have some of the common functions that are noted in the "Getting Started with Microsoft Teams" basic training. Is there anything that can be updated without cost to make our Microsoft Teams to at least have all of those functions?

We are using Microsoft Exchange Server to manage Outlook but for Microsoft Teams we are using our Office 365 e-mail address to login.

There does not appear to be a way to schedule future Teams Meetings from within Teams, just immediate meetings. The calendar icon is nowhere to be found in Teams nor the ability to schedule a meeting button in the top right of a window.

Hi Bea11151950,

Thanks for your post on the community forum. I'm Nik, an independent advisor here to assist you with this.

I see that you use Office 365 - Exchange online as an email account for MS Teams users.

To support MS Teams meeting experience, users must be assigned an Exchange Online license.

To narrow down the issue, we'd need your IT administrator help to check a few things in MS teams admin center:

1. Enable the Calendar APP for your account in the Teams Admin Center https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/dashboard > Users > find and click your account > Policies > APP setup policy to check if your account is using the default Global policy:

Refer screenshot

2. Enable Exchange online licence for each user, it would be a good practice to enable it for your tenant default.

3. If the Exchange Online license is enabled there, admin then go to Teams Admin center > Teams apps > Setup policies > check if the Calendar app is pinned under Pinned apps section. If not, click Add apps button, then search it and then add it for this tenant.

*Please note that any change to policy and licence take up to 24 hours to reflect in the tenant, so give Team service sometime before you check to users.
