The most common reason why your Teams button suddenly disappeared from Outlook.

Have you been using the teams meeting button in outlook and it suddenly dissapeared?

The most common reason for the teams meeting button to disappear is outlook has disabled the teams plugin. Outlook checks every time it starts to see if something is slowing it down and will disable the teams button integration.

The fix is really easy, you just have to click on:

  1. On the File tab,
  2. click ‘Manage COM Add-ins’
  3. under ‘Slow and Disabled COM Add-ins’
  4. You’ll see a list of add-ins. Locate the Microsoft Teams entry and click ‘Always enable this add-in’, as shown in the images below, and select ‘Apply’.

I have some images below of step 2 and step 3 so you can see what the clicks should look like. I hope this is helpful. If you need some assistance with your Microsoft Teams please contact us for immediate service.

If this quick fix didn’t work for you, there can be other reasons why teams meeting buttons don’t work. Below I have listed some longer troubleshooting steps you can take or just call us and we’ll fix it for you.

1) Completely remove Teams from you computer and re-install it. Its important to download it again from teams online where there is an option to download the teams for business application.

2)Update your Microsoft office software because if the version is really old then the teams button wont work.

We helped Erica in Bentleigh choose a new laptop https://fixmytech.com.au/erica-in-bentleigh-needed-a-new-comp/ Mon, 13 Feb 2023 23:40:25 +0000 https://fixmytech.com.au/?p=10519 If your computer takes ages to load, we recommend reaching out to us, we can help by either refurbishing your old computer or helping you get a new computer fully configured.

The post We helped Erica in Bentleigh choose a new laptop appeared first on Fix My Tech Computer Repairs and Technical Support.

Erica’s laptop was over 7 years old and had been repaired once before, it was running very slowly and needed a lot of work to get it running well. She decided to replace the laptop rather than repair it as a new laptop would work so much better than repairing her 7-year-old laptop.

We helped her choose an excellent laptop in her budget and made sure she got the most “bang for her buck”.

We went by our 8 tips for choosing a laptop: Size, Processor, RAM, Storage, Graphics, Battery, Weight, and Cost. You can read more about our 8 Tips for choosing a laptop here.

Erica’s new laptop was fully configured by our team. We transferred all of her files and programs to the new laptop and made sure it was fully configured. All of her email accounts were connected and we made sure she had some specific software she wanted installed and configured.

Our process was easy, Erica left her old and new laptop in our office for a day and we did everything to make her new laptop work like her old one with everything fully configured for her so she could pick up where she left off.

Buying a new computer is sometimes the best option because a new one can be much faster than a repaired old one. In this case Ericas new computer was 10 times faster than her old one. When pressing the power button the new laptop loads in seconds.

We worked out that Erica will be saving hours every day now that she doesn’t need to wait for her computer to finish loading.

If your computer takes ages to load, we recommend reaching out to us, we can help by either refurbishing your old computer or helping you get a new computer fully configured.

    Laptop Won’t Turn On https://fixmytech.com.au/laptop-wont-turn-on/ Tue, 26 Jul 2022 01:00:00 +0000 https://fixmytech.com.au/?p=9943 Jock came in with his laptop this week because it wouldn’t turn on.

    Jock came in with his laptop this week because it wouldn’t turn on. Time was of the essence as without this laptop he couldn’t begin his holiday. Jock entrusted his laptop to Fix My Tech and we promised to do everything in our power to get it back to him that very same day.

    At Fix My Tech we handle laptops that won’t turn on every single week. Our technicians are experts in solving this issue.

    What Happened?

    There are many reasons why a laptop won’t turn on. Some of the easiest things to try at home are:

    • plugging the laptop in the charge and then switching it on
    • Hold the power button for 5-10 seconds, wait 5 seconds, then press the power button once more.

    In this case, it appeared that the computer had, at some point, been completely drained of power. This can happen if your computer is put away for a long time. To prevent this ensure that you “shut down” your computer any time you are expecting not to use it for a period greater than a couple of days.

    Our assessment concluded that the main board needed to be reset. This does not destroy any of your data. Resetting the main board can be thought of as clearing any brain fog the computer may have built up over the years. Resetting the main board is a great solution to get a laptop up and running again as soon as possible. Check out our post regarding lynn in elsternwick troubleshoot

    Our technician spent the rest of the day running tests on the laptop to ensure consistent performance.

    Fix My Tech returned Jock’s laptop that afternoon after every test was completed successfully. Knowing we can now with Jock well with his holiday knowing that he won’t have any tech-related stress is great.

    If you have a computer or laptop that won’t turn on and you would like to know why and what we can do about it, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our office at 536 Hawthorn Rd is open by appointment. Please give us a call on 9016 5383 and speak to one of our friendly technicians today.

    Kerrie in Brighton needed her work computer tuned up. It was running slowly and had annoying pop-ups. She brought her computer to the experienced technicians here at Fix My Tech and after our computer tuneup service, her computer was as good as new.

    During our tuneup service, we identified malware on her computer. Malware is created by malicious groups to harm your computer and try to steal your data. Malware is a very common cause of a slow computer.

    The malware on this computer was causing pop-ups to appear and harass anyone who tried to use the computer. Pop-ups will often use scare tactics to try and get you to click something or hand over personal information. By removing the malware from the computer we stopped the pop-ups from targeting Kerrie.

    Now that the malware was removed it was safe to continue to optimise the computer. Once it was returned to Kerrie it was as good as new and so much faster than when we first got it.

    Our computer tuneup service will insure you are getting to best possible performance out of your current hardware. Our technicians are experts at computer optimisation for both Mac and PC. At Fix My Tech we are eager and happy to help, please give us a ring on 9016 5383. Check out our post regarding computer replacement under warranty

    Sam brought in his laptop because it was full of errors and randomly switching off. He couldn’t get anything done. During the assessment, our technician found that the laptop’s internal fan was malfunctioning. This malfunctioning fan was causing errors to pop up on the laptop and also causing random shutdowns. It was time for a fan replacement.

    When a laptop’s internal fan is malfunctioning the laptop can’t cool down properly. To stop the laptop from cooking itself it will turn off. This is what is happening during these random shutdowns. Here is an article about the signs and dangers of laptops overheating.

    To solve the malfunction the fan needed to be replaced. Our technicians dismantled the laptop to remove the fan, during this process we noticed a large amount of dust inside the laptop. To improve performance and guarantee consistency the laptop was internally cleaned and the dust removed. When replacing the fan our technician also insured to replace the thermal paste to ensure maximum performance. Check out our post regarding Laptop blue screen repair in Brighton BSOD

    Sam’s laptop was returned to him same day totally problem-free. If your laptop is too hot, or too noisy, there is a good chance you will need a fan replacement. Call our friendly technicians on 9016 5383 and we will be happy to help you. Our technicians have dozens of years of experience and are always eager to help.
