Cannot add Teams meeting to a single occurrence of a series

Anonymous

Hello,

We have a new issue - when a Delegate tries to convert a single occurrence in a series to a Teams meeting she gets a message telling her she must convert the entire series to a Teams meeting.  (""This is one appointment in a series. To make it an online meeting, open the meeting series and try again.")

She does not want to change the entire series to a Teams meeting.

She states that she was able to do this until about a week ago.  When opening a recurring meeting, she would get prompted and choose the single occurrence then proceed to add the Teams meeting to this single event only.  

We are also in the process of moving users from Islands to Teams-only mode and I'm not sure if she was recently moved to TeamsOnly.

Same behavior as described in this locked & unanswered thread - except ours is a Win10 environment:

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thank you,

Brett

Just received an update from Microsoft:

Due to the popular demand Teams engineering team decided to re-enable this feature. According to Teams engineering team that they have reverted this feature on Sep 14th.  

Restart Outlook/Teams apps and check if there's any difference

    Today, five of the eight users reporting the issue now say it's working again. I'm still waiting to hear from the other three.

    It seems to have resolved after the latest round of Windows Updates. Users who have it working are on "Microsoft Outlook 2016 (16.0.5071.1000) MSO (16.0.5056.1000) 32-bit." The issue was occurring when users were on "Microsoft Outlook 2016 MSO (16.0.4849.1000) 32-bit," so perhaps it was an update to Outlook that resolved it. As was the case before, Microsoft Support has no idea how it was broken or how it has been fixed.
