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.

    I see,

    so the quick fix to solve this issue seems to be deleting the event and creating a new one. Issues like this can come up and there isn't a solution for it other than creating a new event, since another recurring event works fine then it could be a bug that came up for this one event, and it should go away when you create a new one.

    Hi Mustafa,

    unfortunately this is not the issue nor the resolution as I have added all participants right from the beginning. Also there is another recurring event I had scheduled quite some time ago, which works as expected (and I am continuously modifying participants).

    Hello! My name is Mustafa, 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.

    I tried to make my teams make the same error as yours. and I found the reason for it.

    So when you make the meeting make sure to add the attendees when you are creating the meeting first don't create the meeting and add the attendees later on. If you do that only the first meeting is going to have a link because when there is only you listed for the meeting it doesn't generate a link but if you add everyone the first time you are not going to have this problem.

    Please let me know if this doesn't work or if you need further assistance.

    Warm Regards,

    Mustafa
