Hi @IniobongNkanga-8038 ,

He cant schedule a teams meeting via Outlook Calendar on their MAC PC.
The options for Teams is not there.

According to this official document, "the Teams Meeting button in Outlook for Mac will appear in the Outlook for Mac ribbon if Outlook is running production build 16.24.414.0 and later and is activated with a Microsoft 365 or Office 365 client subscription", so first of all, please make sure these prerequisites have already been met.

With the above confirmed, please check if the user is using the New Outlook for Mac, If yes, it's the expected behavior that there's no Teams Meeting option on the ribbon anymore, instead, we can turn on the toggle of "Teams Meeting" when scheduling a new event from the account which has the Teams license:

Just a comment. You cant as long as you're in one of your calendars. You cannot if you are creating an event in a group calendar, even if you're the owner of the group. Which forces you to either create meeting directly in teams calendar or online in office365.

Hi @IniobongNkanga-8038

Below are the steps to schedule a meeting

To schedule an online meeting in Outlook for Mac, switch to Calendar view.

1. Select Meeting.
2. Add online meeting information by selecting Teams Meeting or Skype Meeting.
   Which is available depends on your organization. If your organization uses Skype for Business, see install Skype for Business. If your organization uses Microsoft Teams, the add-in will be installed automatically.
3. Add invitees to the To field. You can invite entire contact groups (formerly known as distribution lists). Add your meeting subject, location, start time, and end time.
4. Choose Send.

Answer 4

Hello!

I've reviewed the guides, and read through the above.

@LRMAX-2998 is correct, when I:

1. Switch to Calendar view
2. Select Meeting
3. Add online meeting information

At that point, there is NO option to select Teams Meeting.

I can create calendar invites in Teams itself, and that works. There is no function to do so in Outlook. I tried deselecting 'New Outlook' and the function is also not in the 'Old Outlook'.

I also tried installed the add-in, "Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office", and it does not exist when I search for it.

• @Yuki Sun-MSFT the issue I have is this option "ms teams call" is not available for when you book through a "Groups" calendar as per @LRA-MX comment. Is the functionality to allow adding ms teams calls to meetings when booking via a Groups calendar coming to mac?
