- Yeah, do that! I haven’t heard anyone else so far! I’d also check the message center in the admin portal and see if there are any disruptions
Just wanted to drop by and say I had the same problem and fixed it.
Explanation:
I had my Teams-account in my teams client, but I didn't have that account added to my Outlook. I thought this was unnecessary as I assumed Outlook was talking to the teams client.
My solution:
Once I added my Teams account to Outlook everything worked fine!
HiSharkyMcStevenson My Environment is having this same issue. Can you please explain how you can add your teams account to outlook?

- There seems to be a lot of confusion about the Teams meeting Outlook add-in. To be able to use the add-in you need to have a subscription that includes an Exchange mailbox. If you for example are using Teams free with a personal subscription, not including Teams/Exchange, it will show up in your Outlook client but it will not work.
You don't add a "Teams account" to Outlook to get it to work. You simply use your Outlook account with the above prerequisites and the meeting add-in will not only show up but you can also use it as you're on a business/enterprise subscription which has full Teams functionality (including Exchange mailbox).
The add-in also must be enabled by your admin if you're using it in an org. This page has very detailed information about the Teams meeting add-in for Outlook. Usually people are being helped by going to the sections "Other considerations" and "Troubleshooting".
