phil211  here are the two tips which may help;

 

1 - updating to the latest version of the Teams

2- uninstall and reinstall the teams since this should work

 

Also, sometimes it does take some time to show there.

      - Close Microsoft Teams (Check out if appears in the Windows toolbar and close it).
      - Copy and paste the following path Windows File Explorer:
      %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams
      - Delete all contents in that folder > Re-start Microsoft Teams.
      - Sign in

        This seems to be a bug when the New Meeting Experience is enabled. We have seen this across all our customers and on our new devices including brand new installations. 

        There is a bug reported too
