Teams not working

Question

I have a personal MS365 account but cannot activate a teams meeting from within my outlook calendar. Why not?

Answer 1

The Teams Meeting add-in in Outlook Desktop only works with Microsoft 365 Exchange-based work or school accounts. It does not support Outlook.com or personal/small business Microsoft 365 accounts.

For a personal Microsoft 365/Outlook.com account, Teams meetings cannot be created directly from Outlook Desktop. Instead, use the Teams web app or the Teams for home or small business desktop app at https://teams.live.com to create meetings and send invites. Those meetings will then synchronize to the Outlook calendar.

If the ability to schedule Teams meetings directly from Outlook Desktop is required, a subscription plan with an Exchange-based work account is needed.
