What are the reasons for the missing Microsoft Teams add-in for Outlook?
- Authentication Requirements: To use the Teams Meeting Add-in for Outlook, you must log in to Teams using modern authentication. This is Microsoft’s preferred term for what most other programs call multi-factor authentication.
- Outdated Office: The user may be running an old, incompatible version of Office. The user must have Office ProPlus or Microsoft 365 to deploy the add-ons. You can check this manually by opening an application, such as Word, and then selecting File -> Account. Under Product Information, you should see Microsoft 365 Apps for Business.
- Nested groups: add-ons will no longer appear to the user if the user is removed from the group to which the add-on is assigned. Centralized Deployment does not currently support nested group assignments. It supports users in top-level groups or groups without parent groups, but not users in nested groups or groups with parent groups.
