Last week (21st Feb 2019) Microsoft announced that the Outlook mobile app will support creating and joining native Teams meetings. That sounds great, but the announcement was slightly odd:
Every Outlook mobile scheduled meeting will be a Teams meeting?
Outlook 2016 Mac 16.22 and no Teams button in meetings. Teams add-in is missing Outlook for Mac. Microsoft Office Microsoft Online: Microsoft Teams. Hello, I have Microsoft Outlook for Mac version 15.30 (170107) and I cannot find the Store button on the Home tab in the ribbon. Microsoft Support Add or remove a folder in Outlook for Mac Outlook for Office 365 for Mac Outlook 2016 for Mac Outlook for Mac 2011 Outlook 2019 for Mac More.
“If your organization is enabled for both Skype for Business and Teams, the option to create Teams meetings will replace the option to create Skype meetings for your users in Outlook mobile. If some of the people in your organization still need to create Skype meetings, they can continue to do so from Outlook for Windows, Outlook for Mac and Outlook on the web.”
This made no sense, the plan was that if you had Teams enabled at an organisational level, Outlook mobile would schedule Teams meetings, even if that user was a Skype for Business user. Many companies are using Teams in some shape or form, but are not ready for all Outlook mobile scheduled meetings to be Teams meetings.
Fortunately, Microsoft heard the feedback and have updated their plan
Outlook mobile will schedule either Teams or Skype for Business meetings depending on your coexistence mode
This makes much more sense. The experience in Outlook mobile will be based on this coexistence mode setting at the tenant and the user level. The user level setting, if present, will take precedence over the tenant level setting. For example, regardless of the tenant level setting, if a user’s coexistence mode is “Teams Only” or “Skype for Business with Teams Collaboration and Meetings”, then Outlook mobile will schedule Teams meetings instead of Skype for Business when creating Outlook mobile events.
Similarly, if a user’s coexistence mode is “Skype for Business Only”, “Skype for Business with Teams collaboration”, or “Islands”, then nothing changes. They will continue to have the option to add Skype for Business meetings in Outlook mobile.
| Coexistence mode in Teams Admin Center | Meetings solution in Outlook mobile |
| Teams Only | Teams |
| Skype for Business with Teams Collaboration and Meetings* | Teams |
| Skype for Business with Teams Collaboration* | Skype for Business |
| Skype for Business Only | Skype for Business |
| Islands | Skype for Business |

Native Teams meeting join button in Outlook mobile
In addition, for customers who have also started to use the Microsoft sync technology for Outlook mobile (MC165218, see below), there will be a new Teams Join button in calendar events.
This makes it easy to Join a Teams meeting and will be available for all coexistence modes as users could be invited to Teams Meetings even if they are not enabled to create Teams meetings themselves.
Customers who are not using the Outlook mobile sync technology yet will continue to be able to join Teams Meetings using the weblink in the meeting description.
Note that the addition of the Teams Join button does not replace the Skype Join button. The Skype Join button will continue to be offered for Skype Meetings, and the Teams Join button will be offered for Teams Meetings.
Microsoft sync technology for Outlook mobile (MC165218)
“Microsoft sync technology for Outlook mobile” is Microsoft removing the Stateless Protocol Translator in Azure and using a native Microsoft sync technology, connecting Outlook for iOS and Android directly to Exchange Online. By removing the middle tier component, the end to end latency between Outlook for iOS and Android and Exchange Online will be reduced. This was announced in November 2018 and began rolling out in December 2018.
-->The Teams Meeting add-in lets users schedule a Teams meeting from Outlook. The add-in is available for Outlook on Windows, Mac, web, and mobile.
Teams Meeting add-in in Outlook for Windows
The Teams Meeting add-in is automatically installed for users who have Microsoft Teams and either Office 2010, Office 2013 or Office 2016 installed on their Windows PC. Users will see the Teams Meeting add-in on the Outlook Calendar ribbon.
Note
- There are additional considerations if your organization runs both Teams and Skype for Business. Under some circumstances, the Teams add-in is not available in Outlook. See Upgrade from Skype for Business to Teams for details.
- User permissions to execute the Regsvr32.exe file is a minimum requirement for the Teams Meeting add-in to be installed on the computer.
- If users do not see the Teams Meeting add-in, instruct them to close Outlook and Teams, then restart the Teams client first, then sign in to Teams, and then restart the Outlook client, in that specific order.
- If you are using an Office Outlook installation from the Microsoft Store, the Teams Meeting add-in isn't supported. Users who require this add-in are advised to install Click-to-Run version of Office, as outlined in Office on Windows 10 in S mode article.
Teams Meeting add-in in Outlook for Mac
The Teams Meeting button in Outlook for Mac will appear in the Outlook for Mac ribbon if Outlook is running production build 16.24.414.0 and later and is activated with an Office 365 client subscription.
The meeting coordinates (the Teams join link and dial-in numbers) will be added to the meeting invite after the user clicks Send.
Teams Meeting add-in in Outlook Web App
Add Microsoft Teams Button To Outlook For Mac 2017
The Teams Meetings button in Outlook Web App will appear as part of new event creation if the user is on an early version of the new Outlook on the web. See the Outlook Blog to learn about how users can try the early version of the new Outlook on the web.
The meeting coordinates (the Teams join link and dial-in numbers) will be added to the meeting invite after the user clicks Send.
Teams Meeting add-in in Outlook mobile (iOS and Android)
The Teams Meeting button shows up in latest builds of the Outlook iOS and Android app.
The meeting coordinates (the Teams join link and dial-in numbers) will be added to the meeting invite after the user clicks Send.
Teams Meeting add-in in and FindTime for Outlook
FindTime is an add-in for Outlook that helps users reach a consensus on a meeting time across companies. Once the meeting invitees have provided their preferred times, FindTime sends out the meeting invite on the user's behalf. If the Online meeting option is selected in FindTime, FindTime will schedule a Skype for Business or Microsoft Teams meeting. (FindTime will use whichever has been set by your organization as the default online meeting channel.)
Note
If you saved a Skype for Business setting in your Findtime dashboard, FindTime will use that instead of Microsoft Teams. If you want to use Microsoft Teams, delete the Skype for Business setting in your dashboard.
See Schedule meetings with FindTime for more information.
Authentication requirements
The Teams Meeting add-in requires users to sign in to Teams using Modern Authentication. If users do not use this method to sign in, they'll still be able to use the Teams client, but will be unable to schedule Teams online meetings using the Outlook add-in. You can fix this by doing one of the following:
- If Modern Authentication is not configured for your organization, you should configure Modern Authentication.
- If Modern Authentication is configured, but they canceled out on the dialog box, you should instruct users to sign in again using multi-factor authentication.
To learn more about how to configure authentication, see Identity models and authentication in Microsoft Teams.

Enable private meetings
Allow scheduling for private meetings must be enabled in the Microsoft Teams admin center for the add-in to get deployed. In the admin center, go to Meetings > Meeting Policies, and in the General section, toggle Allow scheduling private meetings to On.)
The Teams client installs the correct add-in by determining if users need the 32-bit or 64-bit version.
Note
Users might need to restart Outlook after an installation or upgrade of Teams to get the latest add-in. Microsoft word taking a long time to open mac.
Teams upgrade policy and the Teams Meeting add-in for Outlook
Customers can choose their upgrade journey from Skype for Business to Teams. Tenant admins can use the Teams co-existence mode to define this journey for their users. Tenant admins have the option to enable users to use Teams alongside Skype for Business (Islands mode).
When users who are in Island mode schedule a meeting in Outlook, they typically expect to be able to choose whether to schedule a Skype for Business or a Teams meeting. In Outlook on the web, Outlook Windows, and Outlook Mac, users see both Skype for Business and Teams add-ins when in Islands mode. Due to certain limitations in the initial release, Outlook mobile can only support creating Skype for Business or Teams meetings. See the following table for details.
Add Microsoft Teams Button To Outlook For Mac Pro
| Coexistence mode in the Teams admin center | Default meetings provider in Outlook mobile |
|---|---|
| Islands | Skype for Business |
| Skype for Business only | Skype for Business |
| Skype for Business with Teams collaboration | Skype for Business |
| Skype for Business with Teams collaboration and meetings | Teams |
| Teams only | Teams |
Other considerations
The Teams Meeting add-in is still building functionality, so be aware of the following:
- The add-in is for scheduled meetings with specific participants, not for meetings in a channel. Channel meetings must be scheduled from within Teams.
- The add-in will not work if an Authentication Proxy is in the network path of user's PC and Teams Services.
- Users can't schedule live events from within Outlook. Go to Teams to schedule live events. For more information, see What are Microsoft Teams live events?.
Troubleshooting
If you cannot get the Teams Meeting add-in for Outlook to install, try these troubleshooting steps.
- Ensure all available updates for Outlook desktop client have been applied.
- Restart the Teams desktop client.
- Sign out and then sign back in to the Teams desktop client.
- Restart the Outlook desktop client. (Make sure Outlook isn't running in admin mode.)
- Make sure the logged-in user account name does not contain spaces. (This is a known issue, and will be fixed in a future update.)
- Make sure single sign-on (SSO) is enabled.
If your administrator has configured Microsoft Exchange to control access to Exchange Web Server (EWS), a delegate won't be able to schedule a Teams meeting on behalf of the boss. The solution for this configuration is under development and will be released in the future.
