No share to teams button in my outlook

HI,

Last month, we start to be able to use "share to outlook" from teams, but we still do not see the "share to teams" button in outlook as stated in microsoft support

 

Can you please help to clarify? Is there any setting we need to do by admin

 

Thx

Ryan

    I realize that this thread is two years old; however, if you found this via search because your "Share to Teams" is either not showing or the one you added to your Outlook Ribbon is greyed out, let me share what solved that for me.

    I found the solution in this document: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/connected-experiences-in-office-8d2c04f7-6428-4e6e-ac58-5828d4da5b7c. Here is the relevant section from that document:

     

        Controlling these experiences

    Office includes these connected experiences.  If you'd like to turn these experiences off, go to any Microsoft 365 application - such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint - and go to File > Account > Manage Settings (In Outlook it's under Office Account). There you can disable or enable, either category (or both).  

     

    The fix, however, is turning the experiences ON in this case. After I checked the box to "Turn on optional connected experiences," and restarted Outlook, the Teams button appeared, and the one I had added to the Ribbon now has color instead of gray.

    If it helps, I found that document in a link from this one: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-outlook-share-teams.

    Still waiting. really need this to help get users engaged with Teams who are entrenched with email/Outlook. (please stop emailing me files for the love of god!)

  • Jin Chen Can't be long now as this is on the official support pages https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/share-an-email-to-teams-from-outlook-20ccf1da-2817-4e0b-a42d-017ec4cd229b

    Jin Chen— We still don't have it as of August 18 2020.  6 months for rolling out this feature seems unbelievable.

    Seems like Microsoft is still rolling out this feature (surprisingly a long time). I still don't see this button in our tenant.
  • This depends on the version/build of Outlook, if you are on anything newer than the semi-annual channel build it should be available already.

      Does this also depend on this setting in Teams Admin Center ? Does this setting need to be "ON" for  "Share to Teams"  in Outlook?

        Microsoft_Teams_team  Any update on missing "Share to Teams" button in Outlook?  Are there any minimum versions of Outlook needed or  any setting  like "Allow users to send email to channel email address" ?

      Hi, I have version 2003 but the Share to Teams option isn't showing. Any ideas? The Teams com add-in is enabled.

      Thank you very much
      We are in the monthly channel, and I normally get new feature pretty fast. However, I still do not have it. Is there anything we should do from Admin side
      • Not that I know of, perhaps it's just a delayed rollout on the backend.
