How to Fix Teams Meeting add-in is Missing in Outlook Desktop after Updating to New Teams

ISSUE

After updating to New Teams, you notice the following issues: 

  • When you go to the Outlook Desktop calendar to create a meeting, the Teams Meeting button is missing.
  • When you check Outlook Desktop for the Teams Meeting Add-in by going to File > Options Add-ins, then select Go next to COM Add-ins, the Teams Meeting Add-in is missing.

This issue happens if the update to New Teams did not properly install the Teams Meeting Add-in.
