Step 4: Schedule the Teams Meeting

With the Teams meeting button now functioning properly, you can proceed to schedule the meeting as usual. Fill in the meeting details, such as the meeting subject, date, time, and participants, and click the “Send” button to share the meeting invitation.

Following these steps should resolve the issue of the unresponsive Teams meeting button when using the “Reply with Meeting” feature in Outlook. You can now schedule and join Teams meetings seamlessly without any hindrance.
