SfB meeting info missing from OWA invitations

A number of users have reported that Outlook calendar invitations in O365 (mac and windows) are missing the "Join Online Meeting" link and dial-in conferencing numbers.

 

MS Support told me:

1.  User can send meeting invitations and afterwards the meeting entry  link and dial in numbers will appear in the meeting originator's calendar entry (I confirmed this)

2. This new "feature" is recent but not sure when (or why)

 

I have suggested for users a workaround of sending invations to themselves 1st,  so meeting entry details will display on their calendar and can be tweaked prior to sending out to inivitees.

 

Anyone else seeing/have information about this issue?

    I have seen some weirdness lately with meeting links.  SfB hybrid, Exchange hybrid.

     

    • In OWA, the "Online Meeting" button is missing for some users when trying to elevate a normal invitation to a Skype meeting.  Moving the user to another Exchange database fixed the problem.
    • The a recent deferred channel release seems to introduce some bugs into meeting invitations.  IN my case, the invite prints the dial-in conferencing number twice.
