Meeting scheduled in Teams not appearing in Outlook calendar

I scheduled a meeting in Teams but the meeting was not added to my Outlook calendar (even though it was added to the invitees calendar) - is this expected behaviour?

    I am having the same problem right now. Only with one team member (boss), and only recently. He schedules meetings, and they show up in Teams, but not Outlook. Since I always use Outlook for my calendar (past teams problems...), this is a huge issue. Mostly because I don't get reminders for his meetings, and he has had to message me to ask if I'm joining.

      We've just upgraded to Office version 2102 (Build 13801.20960).  My phone versions of Outlook and Teams calendars are synced.  So is my laptops Teams calendar, but pretty regularly, my laptops version of Outlook is missing some calendar invites.  I can't figure out how to renable the sync to this stops happening.  Seems to be random, so basically I can't trust my laptops outlook calendar anymore.  I have to check Teams or my phone.  Any one have any ideas?

      Many of my students profiles dont reflect the scheduled meetings on their calendar i created although its showing on my calendar. Is the syncing process taking more time than usual from microsoft side or is it a bug? It works fine for some subejct schedule meetings i set but not for others. jonjacobson

        Assuming you already figured this out. But MSFT solved my question in this article. 

        https://office365itpros.com/2020/03/31/invitations-teams-meetings/

        Basically, the channel exists without the participants; the meeting is for the channel, not participants; only participants have a calendar; thus channel events don't appear on participants calendars unless specifically called out. 

         

        I think this is extremely short sighted and not people / user friendly.

  • No, it should be added! Was it a private or a channel meeting?
    Can you see the meeting in Teams under meetings?
  • No, that is not expected. When you schedule a meeting from the Meetings app in Teams you should see it in your Outlook calendar too.

    Do you have your mailbox hosted in Exchange Online or Exchange Server?
