I can't schedule a microsoft teams meeting

When I click "schedule new meeting" there is no option to add a Teams link. I do a majority of my work meetings through Microsoft Teams so I need this option. I was able to schedule it directly through teams, but that doesn't allow me to use the scheduling assistant option to see other peoples' calendars. I could only use it because the person told me what time to schedule the meeting for and it was only with one person. Usually, I need to schedule with groups.

    Hi @Best, Hannah,

    I hope you’re having a great day.

    To better understand the issue and make sure I’m guiding you accurately, I’d like to ask a few clarifying questions:

    1. Are you using a work or school account (for example: @onmicrosoft.com or @yourcompany.com), or a personal account (like @outlook.com, Gmail, etc.) in Outlook when scheduling the meeting?
    2. Which version of Outlook are you using?
    • New Outlook
    • Outlook on the Web
    • Classic Outlook
    1. When you click “Schedule new meeting”, could you please provide a screenshot of what your interface looks like at that moment?
    2. If you’re using Classic Outlook, have you checked whether “Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office” appears in your add-ins list?
    3. Does this issue occur only for you, or are other users in your organization experiencing the same behavior?

    These details will help determine whether this is related to an account limitation, a missing or disabled Teams add-in, or a configuration/policy issue.

    Once I have a clearer understanding of your current situation, I’ll be happy to assist you with greater accuracy. Please feel free to share any additional details you believe are relevant. Screenshots are especially helpful and much appreciated.

    Thank you for your patience and your understanding. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out. 

    I'm looking forward to your reply.

    The missing option to add a Teams link when scheduling a meeting is typically caused by how the mailbox is configured for online meetings, not by the Teams client itself.

    Based on the referenced resolution, the mailbox’s DefaultOnlineMeetingProvider value can be corrupted or set to Unknown, which removes the Teams meeting option/toggle in Outlook and Teams when creating events. The fix is to set this value explicitly to Teams.

    Required action (admin/PowerShell):

    1. In Exchange Online PowerShell, run the following cmdlet against the affected user’s mailbox: 
         Set-MailboxCalendarConfiguration -Identity <user@domain> -DefaultOnlineMeetingProvider TeamsForBusiness
      Replace <user@domain> with the user’s actual sign-in address.
    2. After the change:
      • Ensure the user signs out and back into Outlook and Teams.
      • Then create a new event in Outlook (new Outlook or classic) or Teams calendar and confirm the Teams meeting toggle/option appears.

    Once the Teams provider is correctly set, the user can:

    • Schedule meetings from Outlook using the Teams meeting toggle (which automatically inserts the Teams link).
    • Use Scheduling Assistant/Scheduler to see attendees’ availability while still having a Teams meeting link on the invite.

    If the environment uses the new Outlook for Windows, Teams is natively integrated, so no separate add-in is needed; the key is that the mailbox is on Microsoft 365 Business Exchange and correctly configured as above.
