Question

How do I add the Microsoft Teams Add-in to Outlook?

Answer

There is no separate add-in that needs to be manually added in Outlook. Outlook will automatically add the Teams add-in if it detects Team. If you do not see the Microsoft Teams add-in on your Outlook desktop application ribbon

  1. Quit all Microsoft applications.
  2. Open and sign in to Microsoft Teams.
  3. Leave Microsoft Teams open for a minute or two to let it fully run and catch up.
  4. Open Outlook and sign in.
  5. Once Outlook finds that there is an instance of Microsoft Teams running, it should automatically add the Microsoft Teams add-in to Outlook.
