  1. If this does not solve the issue, then try un-checking any other add-ins that may have recently been installed, then click OK and close and restart Outlook. It should not be necessary to uncheck any original Microsoft add-ins.
  2. Failing all of the above, uninstall the 8x8 integration and re-install it.
