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.

  1. Close both ‘Teams’ and ‘Outlook’.
  2. Restart ‘Teams’ and wait until everything has started up and chat/messages/teams are displayed.
  3. Start Outlook.

If that didn't resolve the issue:

  1. Logout the VDI
  2. Log back in.
  3. Start ‘Teams’ and wait until everything has started up and chat/messages/teams are displayed.
  4. Start Outlook.

If the Teams button still fails to show, check the ‘Teams Add-In’ is enabled in Outlook.
