Recurring teams/outlook meeting do not have a Join button anymore (except the very first one)

I, the organizer, and everybody else can join the very first meeting of a series (custom schedule: every 2 weeks).

But from the very next event in the series the toggle "online meeting" is off. Also I can not switch it on (so I can, but when I save and go back into editing this series, it's off again). Which leads to not having the "Join" button for all other, except the very first, meeting in a series.

So I'd say that this is a bug. I'm using both outlook and teams in browser.

I got the very same behavior for both: Created a series via Outlook (in browser) and created a series via Teams (in browser) calendar.

    Hello! My name is André, and I am an Independent Advisor as well as a long-time Microsoft user.

    I'm sorry that you are experiencing this issue, and I am hopeful that I will be able to help you find a satisfactory solution.

    The lack of a "Join" button in recurring Teams or Outlook meetings could be due to a number of reasons, such as:

    • The meeting organizer may have disabled the "Join Before Host" feature, which would prevent attendees from joining the meeting before the host.
    • The attendee may have previously declined the meeting invitation, which would prevent them from joining subsequent occurrences of the meeting.
    • The attendee may have exceeded the maximum number of devices allowed to join the meeting, which is typically set by the organizer.
    • The attendee may be using an outdated version of Teams or Outlook that is not compatible with the latest meeting features.

    Please kindly let me know if this worked for you or if you need further assistance.

    Warm Regards,

    André

    I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. Let's ask other advisors and fellow Teams users for other suggestions that might help.

    They would be able to respond to this thread and share their input.

    Your patience will be highly appreciated.

    Regards,

    Hi Mustafa,

    sure, I did edited the series. I tried creating a new event within teams, I tried to create a new event from outlook. No luck. I tried editing the sereis to set it to be a teams (online) meeting. All tried, nothing helped unfortunately.

    Always when I edit the series the first event has an link to teams, all others don't. Also whenever I open the edit of the series the checkmark to be an online meeting, is only checked on the very first meeting, not on one of the recurring ones. I ran out of ideas.

    I see,

    I have been looking at how to fix this issue and I got it resolved by choosing series when you go to edit it, once you do this add the people again and see if it resolves this issue.

    Let me know how it goes

    I did, no luck. Same behavior as before.
    It only works fine for created series long time ago (created a year back or so). All recently created (created this year) recurring events/series show this issue.
