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.

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.

Hi

Same issue. When I try do the add in it takes me to an office explorer "save file" page to manually save the add in but always errors when I try and save it.

What %#$& update killed this as have always had that add in active in my MS linked apps? How do I resolve this?

Answer 4

Having the same issue today. Can't even make a Teams Meeting via Teams > Calendar neither

Answer 5

answer to this issue is to reinstall the 2016/O365 Application.

But
