    Hi IKTMalene 

     

    Can you please confirm if the users Teams Application is working fine. In case yes then do the following steps :- 

     

    • Launch RegEdit.exe
    • Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins
    • Verify TeamsAddin.FastConnect exists.
    • Within TeamsAddin.FastConnect, verify LoadBehavior exists and is set to 3.
      • If LoadBehavior has a value other than 3, change it to 3 and restart Outlook.

    In case the Value doesn't do one thing from one of the user machine go to the same location and export the folder and install the same on the non-working users machine? This should help.

     

    With Regards,

It worked! "TeamsAddin.FastConnect" did not exist. I exported the folder from my computer and imported the folder to the non-working machine.
Thank you for the help! I appreciate it. RealTime_M365

      Saluix I have the exact same problem.  However, I had Outlook 2016 installed with the Microsoft Teams button available in Outlook.  I had to reinstall Windows 10 because of a blue screen problem and installed Microsoft 365 instead of Office 2016 after I did the Windows upgrade.  Now I do not have the Teams button or the entry in the registry (I can't copy the old one now).  I can open Teams (I have 4 different organizations I am a part of), schedule meetings there (it sends me to web Outlook though instead of my Outlook app), but yet still no Teams Meeting button in Outlook.  This is incredibly frustrating considering I have all of the latest Microsoft software.  Why doesn't Microsoft make it easier to install this Add-In?  What registry entry needs to be created to get this button to appear in my Outlook again?  I LOST functionality by upgrading.

      Saluix Hi Chris, would you mind telling us about your company's software/config? Can it be done from Teams on the web? Could it be you're using Teams free? (where scheduled meetings are not included).
