MS Teams and meeting icon
We are rolling out the MS Teams and meeting icon in the left nav bar is missing, here are the environment details:
- AAD Connect configured all AD object sync to AzureAD
- Users mailboxes housed in Exchange on-premise (2016 latest CUs)
- No hybrid environment
Appreciate for your response!
- Post regarding this config in the comments to this article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/exchange-teams-interact
"Please let me add my 2 cents here as I had a customer request regarding Microsoft Teams calendar with Exchange on-premises. I was able to access the user's calendar, create edit delete or join a meeting through Microsoft Teams with the mailbox on Exchange on-premises and no Exchange Full or Minimal hybrid configuration.
Many articles or colleagues pointing to implement Exchange hybrid to get the calendar in Microsoft Teams to work with Exchange on-premises mailboxes.
This is not true, neither a requirement from Microsoft, it is just a "good" recommendation.
What here truly is needed are the following steps:
Azure AD Connect with Exchange Hybrid attributes sync
1.1 From that point, the Exchange Online is aware of the on-premises mailbox
Exchange on-premises 2016 CU3+
Exchange on-premises must be accessible from MS Teams IP
3.1 Autodiscover will be used from MS Teams backend services to discover and access the Exchange on-premises
3.2 Firewall rule to allow traffic may be required - MS Teams backend services IPs - http://aka.ms/ipurlws
3.2 Create Autodiscover DNS entry in your public DNS and point to your Exchange Server if it is not set
3.3 Exchange on-premises should answer to requests over 443 with a public certificate which covers autodiscover and the external hostname of the server
OAUTH has to be configured
4.1 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/configure-oauth-authentication-between-exchange-and-exchange-online-organizations-exchange-2013-help
4.2 Step 1-5 should be enough, test if OAUTH is working with the steps at the bottom of the article.
Please message me if you face any issue and I would be happy to assist you

Spikar"- A friend of mine has this same issue and it seems is related to the fact OAuth between Exchange OnPrem and EXO is not configured...there are some manual steps to accomplish this that are done when you set a hybrid Exchange OnPrem - EXO environment
- Hi Dinesh! About a year ago the meetings app in the left rail was replaced with Calendar. Here is a blog talking about it https://tomtalks.blog/2019/03/microsoft-teams-meetings-button-app-will-be-replaced-with-more-functional-calendar-app-in-march/
- Hey Jeremy, my means “calendar” icon not available, we already enabled meeting policies. Sorry for confusion.
