If Teams is installed and you're having all prerequisites for the add-in to show up in the Outlook client, but it doesn't, my experience is that this process will enable it.
- Restart the Teams desktop client.
- Sign out and then sign back in to the Teams desktop client.
- Restart the Outlook desktop client. (Make sure Outlook isn't running in admin mode.)
A method which I use to resolve this which generally tends to work is the below:
1. Navigate to C:\Users\*****\AppData\Local\Microsoft
*** Being the user who is having issues
2. Delete the MicrosoftTeamsAddin folder
3. Copy the file from another users account which works
4. Reopen outlook and check to see if Teams addin is within com addins
If this doesn't work I have used the below:
1. Close outlook
2. Open CMD as Admin
3. cd C:\Users\*****\AppData\Local\Microsoft\TeamsMeetingAddin\1.0.20107\x86 (Addin version number may be different)
4. regsvr32 Microsoft.Teams.AddinLoader.dll
5. Restart machine
Now this doesn't work 100% of the time but I have found this to work in most cases.
