Are you missing notifications about Teams Meetings in Outlook that previously would show up without issue?
Check if your Teams COM Add-in for Outlook is/was disabled by checking the following steps.
If these steps do not resolve your issue, reach out to your IT Technician for assistance.
For Classic Outlook users:
Checking enabled COM add-ins:
- With Outlook open, type 'com' in the search bar. Of the shown results, click on 'COM Add-ins' towards the bottom.
- On the COM Add-ins window, ensure that 'Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office' is enabled. If it's not, go ahead and click the checkbox and then click OK (see below).

Checking disabled COM add-ins:
- After ensuring that your Teams Add-in is enabled, type in the top search bar within Outlook "disabled" and click on Disabled Items.
- If you notice that your Microsoft Teams add-in is included in this list, go ahead and select it and click 'enable' (see below).

For New Outlook users:
As stated from Microsoft, "the 'new Outlook' (web version) has a native integration with Microsoft Teams, allowing you to schedule Teams meetings directly within the Outlook calendar without needing a separate add-in. This functionality is built-in, so you can create a Teams meeting by selecting the "Teams Meeting" option when creating a new event."
"COM add-ins aren't supported in the new Outlook for Windows, but continue to work in Classic Outlook in Windows. COM Add-ins can manipulate Outlook in many ways that often lead to instability and crashes in Outlook. [...] Users are encouraged to migrate their existing COM add-ins to web add-ins to work in the new Outlook environment."
To add new add-ins or view current add-ins:
- With Outlook open, click on the 2x2 box icon along the left-hand pane, and then click on 'Add apps' (see below).

- When you're in the Apps window of the new Outlook, you can either search for add-ins to add through the search bar at the top, or you can manage add-ins in use by using the button at the bottom "Manage your apps."
