MS Teams invitation shows as plain text asking to join the meeting, instead of hyperlink

When I schedule a meeting using MS Teams APP in Windows 10 PC, the resulting invitation is received as plain text, not even showing the link, only text words "Join the MS Teams Meeting" and "Help" (I use the Spanish version). See below the text....I am unable to see or click the hyperlink.  What may be causing this?  Meeting is scheduled for another date.

  • Yes,

    The optimal solution is to have them receive in HTML however if they won’t and only accept in plain text then copy and paste the link into an invite, or get them to simply join straight through Teams via the join button in the calendar app rather than Outlook

    Hope that answers your question

    Best, Chris

      Outlook was composing in plain text. My following question is:
      I am the organizer of the MS Teams invitation. Will everyone else that has the plain text option of Outlook have the same problem?
      In this case, is the best solution to cancel the invitation and organizing a new one with "copy/paste" link in plain text the url address?

    I have this issue as well although my email default format is set to HTML.
