    Hi Michael,

    The error message "Access denied for the resource" together with tag [4k709] may indicate an account permission or tenant configuration issue. This can occur if the required Microsoft 365 permissions are not assigned, access to Microsoft Teams is restricted by organizational policies, or the account is attempting to sign in to the wrong organization.

    Since the Teams Meeting add-in depends on a successful sign-in to the Teams desktop application and a Teams-enabled Microsoft 365 account, the sign-in issue would need to be resolved first before the add-in can appear and function correctly in Outlook.

    As these settings are typically managed by your organization's IT administrator, I recommend contacting them and providing them with the Correlation ID and Timestamp from the error message so they can review the sign-in failure and account configuration.

    In case you do not know who your IT admin is, kindly refer to this article: How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin? - Microsoft Support.

    You may also share the following Microsoft resource with the IT admin. It explains how to use the Teams sign-in diagnostic in the Microsoft 365 admin center to check your account and identify the root cause: Self-help diagnostics for Teams administrators - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn.

    I hope this response reaches you in time and helps bring some clarity. If you have any question, feel free to reply.

    If Outlook is new Outlook, there is no separate Teams add-in to install. The Teams integration is built in, and the meeting form shows a Teams meeting toggle instead of a COM add-in.

    For new Outlook, check these requirements first:

    1. Sign in to both Outlook and Teams with the same work or school account.
    2. Use the new Teams client.
    3. If the toggle is still missing, fully restart both apps in this order:
      • Close Outlook
      • Right-click the Teams icon in the taskbar area and select Quit Teams
      • Start Teams and sign in
      • Start Outlook

    If Outlook is classic Outlook for Windows, the Teams Meeting add-in should appear as Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office. Try these steps:

    1. In Outlook, go to File > Options > Add-ins.
    2. Check whether Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office appears under Active Application Add-ins.
    3. If it appears under Disabled Application Add-ins, under Manage, select COM Add-ins > Go.
    4. Select the checkbox for Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office.
    5. Select OK, close Outlook, and restart it.

    If the add-in is completely missing in classic Outlook after moving to new Teams, force Teams to reinstall it:

    1. Open Settings > Apps > Installed Apps.
    2. Search for Teams Meeting Add-in.
    3. Uninstall it.
    4. Close Outlook.
    5. Quit Teams from the system tray.
    6. Restart new Teams.
    7. Wait until Teams Meeting Add-in appears again in Installed Apps.
    8. Restart Outlook.

    Other common causes:

    • Teams and Outlook are signed in with different accounts.
    • Outlook is running as administrator while Teams is not.
    • The Teams desktop client is not installed.
    • Office or Teams is not installed or updated correctly.
    • A tenant admin disabled the Outlook add-in.

    If Outlook is running as administrator, right-click the Outlook and Teams shortcuts, open Properties > Compatibility, and make sure Run this program as an administrator is cleared for both.
