    Hi @IBN

    Does this problem only happened in this specific users?

    If you still don’t see the add-in, make sure that it isn’t disabled in Outlook.

    1. In Outlook, choose File and then Options.
    2. Select the Add-ins tab of Outlook Options dialog box.
    3. Confirm that Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office is listed in the Active Application Add-ins list
    4. If the Teams Meeting Add-in is listed in the Disabled Application Add-ins list, select COM Add-ins in Manage and then select Go…
    5. Set the checkbox next to Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office.
    6. Choose OK on all dialog boxes and restart Outlook.

    For more details about its troubleshooting, you could refer to this article.

    One Option that make this work after several attempts was:

    Selecting Mange Dropdown in Options->"Add-in"->Mange(dropdown)->"Disabled Items" and click GO
    On the next screen select "Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office" option in the list and click enable.

    Restart Outlook and u can see "Teams Meeting" available.

    I had the same problem, but it was the version of Teams that was the problem. I had searched the Microsoft site and found teams for work & school, installed it and it let me log into my work Teams account, but would not bring up the Teams icon. Outlook apps/add-ins showed no Teams at all - not enabled, not disabled, nothing. So I uninstalled both old Teams and the new one (right-click-uninstall on the Start menu, not Control Panel/Programs and Features). Then logged into my office365 account on the website. Navigated to the web-based Teams app. Clicked on "..." at the upper right of that app and selected "download desktop app". This time it came as a .exe, not an MSI file. Ran that and the icon showed up in Outlook.

    I had a similar issue when migrating to a new work laptop. My instance of "Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office" was already active so the current answer didn't help.

    The following steps put the Teams Meeting option back on my ribbon:

    1. Click File
    2. Click Options towards the bottom sidebar
    3. Click Quick Access Toolbar about three quarters of the way down the sidebar
    4. Click the drop down under Choose commands from: and change it to Home (Calendar Table View) Tab (mine defaults to Popular Commands)
    5. Scroll through the options until you see New Teams Meeting (sorted alphabetically)
    6. Select New Teams Meeting then click the Add >> button between the two tables

    This should add the New Teams Meeting option to your ribbon in the calendar view/tab AND add a Teams Meeting group to your ribbon while in a meeting maker.

    What seemed to work for me was to do the full online repair of the MS Office suite.
