    Hi @Ankit I Singh, 

    Based on your description, this usually happens because the item created from the email thread is still a regular Outlook meeting instead of a Teams meeting, or because the Teams Meeting add-in in Classic Outlook for Windows is not loading correctly. In Classic Outlook, the Teams join details are normally added only after you explicitly choose Teams Meeting or Schedule meeting while creating the invite.

    Kindly a few steps below to help locate the root cause: 

    1. As the first check, please create a new meeting directly from Calendar and then choose Teams Meeting. If the join details appear there, the issue is likely specific to the email-thread workflow. 
    2. Go to File > Options > Add-ins in Outlook and confirm that Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office is listed under Active Application Add-ins. If it is under Disabled Application Add-ins, re-enable it from Manage > COM Add-ins > Go, then restart Outlook.
    3. Fully close both Teams and Outlook, then open Teams first and wait until it is fully signed in before opening Outlook again. 
    4. Make sure Teams and Outlook are signed in with the same work account and that you are using a supported Microsoft 365 business Exchange mailbox. 

    If this happens only when scheduling on behalf of someone else, please reach out to IT admin to check the delegated mailbox configuration, because missing join details can happen in delegated scenarios if the mailbox is hidden from the GAL. 

    If the problem affects multiple users, it would be best for the admin to open a support request from the admin center so the add-in/integration side can be checked more closely. 

    If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out.

    In Outlook for Windows, the meeting “Location” field and the online meeting link are controlled by the calendar configuration and the online meeting provider (for example, Teams). If the link is not automatically added when creating a meeting from an email, common causes include:

    1. Default online meeting provider not set or misconfigured
      • If the mailbox’s DefaultOnlineMeetingProvider value is unknown or not set to Teams, Outlook will not auto-generate a Teams link when creating meetings.
      • This can happen due to a corrupted calendar configuration.
      • An Exchange admin can fix this by running (example): 
             Set-MailboxCalendarConfiguration -Identity <user> -DefaultOnlineMeetingProvider TeamsForBusiness
      • After this change, new meetings created in Outlook (including from email threads) should show the Teams toggle and automatically add the online meeting link.
    2. Calendar/meeting configuration issues in the mailbox
      • Corrupted or incorrect calendar configuration can affect how meetings are created and displayed.
      • Admins should verify the user’s mailbox and calendar configuration in Exchange (including working hours and online meeting provider) and correct any invalid values.

    If the problem persists after fixing DefaultOnlineMeetingProvider, the admin should review the mailbox configuration more broadly or open a support case, as the behavior is typically tied to mailbox/calendar configuration rather than the email thread itself.
