I am on a MAC, logged into my account in both Outlook and Teams, meetings are in Outlook calendar, but don't show up in Teams, frustrating

Also, when I schedule an appointment in Outlook, there is no option to add a Teams link

    In Outlook for Mac, Teams integration is built in and controlled by the account type and a Teams/Skype toggle in the event window.

    To add a Teams link when scheduling in Outlook for Mac:

    1. In Outlook, switch to Calendar.
    2. Select New Event.
    3. Fill in the event details (title, attendees, date/time, location).
    4. In the event window, turn on the Teams Meeting toggle (or Skype Meeting, depending on what is available in the organization).
    5. Select Save. The Teams join information is added to the invite when it is sent.

    Important conditions and checks:

    • The account in Outlook must be an Office 365 / Exchange / Outlook.com account. Online meetings are not supported for IMAP or POP accounts, so the Teams toggle will not appear for those.
    • If the organization uses Microsoft Teams, the add-in is installed automatically; no separate installation is needed.
    • For Mac, Teams meetings created from Outlook appear via this integration; there is no separate classic add-in UI like on Windows.

    If the Teams toggle is missing for a supported account:

    1. Confirm the Outlook profile is using an Office 365/Exchange/Outlook.com mailbox, not IMAP/POP.
    2. Confirm the account has a Microsoft 365 subscription that includes Teams and that the same work/school account is used in both Outlook and Teams.
    3. Close Outlook, quit Teams completely, then start Teams and sign in, and then reopen Outlook so the integration can reinitialize.

    Regarding Outlook calendar meetings not appearing in Teams:

    • Teams surfaces meetings that are online (Teams/Skype) meetings from an Exchange/Office 365 calendar. If meetings are created on an IMAP/POP calendar or without the Teams Meeting toggle enabled, they will not show as Teams meetings in the Teams calendar.
    • Ensure new meetings are created on the Exchange/Office 365 calendar in Outlook and that the Teams Meeting toggle is turned on so they sync and appear in Teams.
