Microsoft is investigating a known issue affecting Outlook for Microsoft 365 users and preventing them from creating Teams meetings using the app's ribbon menu.
The Teams Meeting add-in, as its name says, can be found in the Calendar view and it enables Outlook users to schedule a Teams meeting from Outlook.
This issue occurs because the Teams Meeting add-in for Outlook becomes disabled, which leads to the meeting creation option being removed from the menu.
"When you attempt to create a Teams meeting in Outlook Desktop you find that the option is missing on the ribbon," Microsoft said in a support article published over the weekend.
"The Outlook and Teams Product Teams are investigating this issue further to determine why the Teams Meeting add-in is being disabled," Microsoft said.
In Outlook select File > Options > Add-ins > Manage, select "Disabled items", and then Go. If you see Teams listed under Disabled Items select it, and then select Enable.
