Meeting Invitation In Outlook Not Rendering Correctly
- Steven Collier, I actually found out what the issue was. In our environment we manage our Plugins for Outlook through GPO. So they have to be explicitly enabled. We didn't have the Microsoft VBA for Outlook Addin plugin enabled. After I enabled that plugin through GPO the meeting invitation started generating properly through the Outlook app.
EchoHomeCare Could your Outlook be set to use Plain Text format rather than HTML, under Outlook settings, Mail, Compose Messages in this format ?
Steven, the clients I have tested with have the setting to compose their emails in HTML rather than Plain Text. And verified when opening a new email it sets it to use HTML:

- Also to note that the Meeting Invitation is fine if I create it from Outlook Online. It is only happening when using the Outlook desktop client.
EchoHomeCare There really isn't anything else you can configure. Teams deploys a plugin for Outlook that provides that feature, but it's updated and managed by Teams and in your example is clearly there and functioning.
If this is common to all machines for all users, maybe look to see if your network is blocking something I guess. I would check that Outlooks up to date and the Teams client is updating as expected. Maybe remove any other Outlook plugins incase there is a conflict.
