Synchronizing all the things you need to do can save time and effort. That is why Microsoft integrates and adds MS Teams Meetings on Outlook to make it easier for users to access the application at any time. By adding Microsoft Teams as an add-in on the Outlook client, you can open the productivity app directly from your mail client.
Unfortunately, many users complained that they cannot see the Microsoft Teams button icon appearing on their Outlook Calendar app. The Teams icon is not showing up under “My Outlook” and keeps on disappearing. It simply disappeared from view when it should be visible in the menu section.
