I can't add a Teams link to meeting invites in Outlook

Question

I can't add a Teams link to meeting invites in Outlook

Arjan Arenas 0

When sending a meeting invite, there is no option to add a Teams link, which effectively prevents me from setting up calls with my colleagues. I have tried to install Teams links as an add-in to my Outlook, but when I try to do this, I receive an error message stating that 'The end date you have selected is earlier than the start date'. There is no end or start date that I can see or edit. How can I add the option to send a Teams link to meeting invites?

I am using new outlook. I am not getting a camera icon to add a Teams call when making an invitation. My outlook is Office 2024 Pro permanent version.

Hi @Charles Grogan

Since you are using different Outlook client, I recommend creating a new thread and including details such as your Outlook version. This will help avoid mixing multiple issues in one discussion and allow moderators to focus on your specific case more effectively.

Creating a separate thread will also enable us to request additional information via private message if needed, while helping protect personal or organizational data.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi @Arjan Arenas

To help us better understand the problem, could you please let us know which Outlook client you are using?

Outlook for Windows (Classic Outlook)
New Outlook for Windows
Outlook on the web (OWA)
Outlook for Mac
Outlook mobile app (iOS/Android)

Since you mentioned you install add-in, it could be you are using Classic Outlook. If yes, quick check in File > Option > Add-in > Go > Make sure Teams add-ins is enabled.

Additionally, you will need to sign in Teams desktop with the same account as in Outlook in order to have Teams meeting button. when you schedule, Teams link will be added automatically.

If you are using New Outlook Windows/ Outlook Web, the Teams link will be added when you done scheduling and click send. make sure you enable Teams meeting.

Hi Jayden,

Thanks for your advice. I am using Classic Outlook, which I am signed into with the same account as Teams. However, whenever I press 'Go', the error message comes up, so I can't progress to add the option to set up a Teams link.
