Hello @Gupta, Prawal,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.  

Since your information is not quite clear, kindly confirm these followings: 

1. Are you using Classic Outlook or New Outlook? 
2. Which version of Teams are you using 
3. Do you see the Teams Meeting Add‑in listed under  File > Options > Add-ins > Manage COM Add-ins > Go? 
4. Is the Teams desktop app installed and are you signed in with the same account as Outlook? 
5. Have you recently updated Teams or Outlook before the icon disappeared? 
6. Is your organization using Skype for Business alongside Teams? 

In the meantime, try to uninstall and reinstall the Teams application to check if it can resolve the issue. Also, you can try to repair Teams and Outlook by following this article: Repair apps and programs in Windows - Microsoft Support. 

Note: Please understand that as a forum moderator, my primary goal is to provide helpful guidance and support through general troubleshooting steps. While I don’t have access to internal systems or test devices required to resolve backend/account issues, I truly appreciate your understanding of these limitations.

If you do not see the Teams meeting icon when scheduling a meeting in Outlook, it could be due to several reasons:

1. Add-in Status: Ensure that the Teams Meeting add-in is enabled in Outlook. You can check this by going to File > Options > Add-ins and verifying if the Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office is listed under Active Application Add-ins.
2. Outlook Version: Make sure you are using a supported version of Outlook. The Teams Meeting add-in is automatically installed for users with Microsoft Teams and either Office 2013, 2016, 2019, or 2021 installed on their Windows PC.
3. Teams Installation: Confirm that you have the Teams desktop client installed. The add-in cannot be installed if you are using only the Teams web client.
4. Updates: Ensure that all available updates for both Outlook and Teams are applied.
5. Configuration Issues: If your organization runs both Teams and Skype for Business, the Teams add-in might not be available in Outlook.

If the add-in is not visible, try closing both Outlook and Teams, restarting the Teams client, signing in, and then restarting Outlook again.
