Why can’t I see the “Teams” button in outlook?
In order for the ‘Teams’ add-in to be shown in Outlook you should start Teams before starting Outlook.
- Close both ‘Teams’ and ‘Outlook’.
- Restart ‘Teams’ and wait until everything has started up and chat/messages/teams are displayed.
- Start Outlook.
If that didn't resolve the issue:
- Logout the VDI
- Log back in.
- Start ‘Teams’ and wait until everything has started up and chat/messages/teams are displayed.
- Start Outlook.
If the Teams button still fails to show, check the ‘Teams Add-In’ is enabled in Outlook.
How do I enable the Teams Add-In within Outlook?
- In Outlook, click ‘File’.
- Click ‘Options’.
- Click ‘Add-Ins’.
- Look for and tick ‘Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-In for Microsoft Office’. (If it is not listed follow steps A-F).

Follow these steps if the add-in does not show in step 4 above.

- Click ‘Go’.
