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?

I had this recently, I went to files>options>add-ins and the Teams meeting add-in was showing as disabled. If you choose manage disabled addins at the bottom and click go you can turn it on then restart outlook. This worked but a few mins later I got an alert saying it had been disabled again because it delayed opening a meeting request by 0.7secs, when I clicked on the alert I got an option to always enable this addin which I chose and now it seems to be working ok

The above options do not fix all situations. In my case, Outlook disabled Teams add in for slow performance. If this happens follow these steps.

In Outlook, choose File

In the main window, click on "Manage COM Add-ins" button next to "Slow and Disabled COM Add-ins"
NOTE: You will likely see the Teams add-in listed as disabled for slow performance,

Click on the "Options" drop down

Select option to "Always enable this add-in"

May need to Close/Restart Outlook

This will enable Teams add-in and prevent it from being disabled for slow performance in the future.

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.

In Outlook, choose File and then Options.
Select the Add-ins tab of Outlook Options dialog box.
Confirm that Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office is listed in the Active Application Add-ins list
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…
Set the checkbox next to Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office.
Choose OK on all dialog boxes and restart Outlook.

For more details about its troubleshooting, you could refer to this article.

Step 4 will not work.

In Manage, select the drop-down, select Disabled Items and click Go.

In Disabled Items dialog box, select every entry which has teams anywhere in the line (Press Ctrl key to select multiple entries

Click Enable

Change Dropdown to COM Add-Ins and click GO

In the COM Add-ins dialog box, ensure "Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office" and "Microsoft VBA for Outlook Addin" are both checked

Other items may also checked. Click OK

For the settings change to take effect, all open Outlook windows must be closed.

After waiting around 30 secs, relaunch Outlook

Select Calendar and then the Home ribbon will now have the "New Teams Meeting" icon

P.S. Microsoft VBA for Outlook Addin is needed so that link to join a meeting is the nice 2Click here to join the meeting" and not a long ugly URL link

In the COM Add-ins dialog box it shows no add-ins.
There are no Add-ins in the disabled add-ins list.

The new MS Teams is not integrating with MS Office Outlook meeting scheduling window. We have to install Classic Teams which worked perfectly.

The link to download is https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2187327

Thank you.
Teams was deactivated, and reactivating it made it work like before.

What seemed to work for me was to do the full online repair of the MS Office suite.

Thanks, this is what I needed to do also. For me, I went to Settings > Apps > Installed apps, and then did a repair on "Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office" and that fixed it.

Vayinapalli, KaliPrasad 26

One Option that make this work after several attempts was:

Selecting Mange Dropdown in Options->"Add-in"->Mange(dropdown)->"Disabled Items" and click GO
On the next screen select "Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office" option in the list and click enable.

Restart Outlook and u can see "Teams Meeting" available.

Unfortunately this solution is not working in my case, the restart of Outlook returns the Teams add-in into the disabled status, i.e. I am running in circles.

Among the other answers, please also ensure that you are running the proper version of Teams. There are two different Teams apps:

One for home and small business

One for work and school

Please be sure to install the proper version. In my case, it was Teams for Work or School. The user had logged into Teams for home due to it being the version that is integrated into Windows 11, and their chats were not syncing and they did not have the 'New Teams Meeting' button appearing in their Outlook.
