Re-enabling the Teams Add-In for Outlook

Modified on Thu, 4 Dec at 9:43 AM

This article is for when the Teams Meeting add-in has disappeared when trying to include a Teams meeting within an Outlook appointment/meeting 


The most common reason behind this is that the Teams Add-In caused Outlook to crash and so Outlook has either removed or disabled it

To check this, within Outlook navigate to File --> Options --> Add-ins



You'll likely either see the 'Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office' in the list of Inactive or Disabled add-ins


If the Teams Meeting Add-in is in the Disabled list, change the bottom 'Manage' dropdown menu to Disabled Items & then click Go...





You would then see the Teams add-in in this menu. Click on it, click Enable and then Close


If the Teams Meeting Add-in is in the inactive list, keep COM Add-ins selected in the bottom 'Manage' dropdown menu and then click Go...




Within the tick menu list that appears you would then have the Microsoft Teams Add-in unticked like the above screenshot. Simply tick this and press OK


At this point you may need to restart Outlook for this to take effect. The Teams meeting options should then appear
