Scheduling a MSteams meeting in outlook
I'm using Windows 10 Home and outlook 365 and Teams (Free). In outlook when I try to use the "New Teams Meeting" button in the Home menu bar I get " We couldn't schedule the meeting. Please try again later". Is this not possible? If so then I guess I can delete the Outlook teams add-in?
If I try to use Teams , I can schedule a meeting and are presented with two options:
Copy meeting invitation
Share via google calendar.
There's not an option to share via outlook calendar.
My work around is to simply create a meeting and email people the link 5 mins before we start. Not very elegant but it works.

- Hi, the Teams meeting Outlook add-in isn’t supported in your config.
- Yes I'm coming round to that conclusion too. Thank you for the confirmation.
Hi David,
To solve this problem you will need to active the plug in.
- In Outlook, choose File and then Options.
- Select the Add-ins tab of Outlook Options dialog box.
- Confirm that Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office is listed in the Active Application Add-ins list
- If the Teams Meeting Add-in is listed in the Disabled Application Add-ins list, select COM Add-ins in Manage and then select Go…
- Set the checkbox next to Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office.
- Choose OK on all dialog boxes and restart Outlook.
- Thank you Aghiad
Your instructions were very clear and easy to follow but sadly the teams add-in was already enabled so the problem remains I'm afraid.
Many thanks for trying to help.
