Microsoft teams invite problem with gmail
Jacques van Wyk for you the best option will be to make a hybrid environment of Exchange.
This way both will sync with each other and you will have all the option and functions available try this docs about hybrid I think this will be a good use case for you to try.

sakib2310 your case may also be the issue with Exchange if you do not have exchange mailbox Team as mentioned below.
Microsoft Teams, you have a calendar(previously called meetings) icon in the main display that shows your diary and meetings etc. – except it does not work if your mailbox is not either in Exchange Online or, if if your mailbox is on-premises, you are not using Exchange Server 2016 CU3 or later.
I have a similar problem with Calendar. We have users on Office O365 Business and the have an external hosted Exchange account. No Office 365 Exchange = No Teams Calendar. We added the Exchange online subscription (app) but then found the two exchange servers clashed for our users and email send from desktop outlook was being delivered to the online exchange box which my users don't have access to. I don't need the online exchange mailbox and have now disabled it for all users. Now I cannot setup a meeting or send an invite to a meeting. Is there another way (it does not need to be integrated to the Online Calendar) to create meeting invite links?

PDostiyar, thank you for your reply. Unfortunately this approach cannot be setup for the next few weeks as we are in Lockdown in South Africa and we have implemented a system freeze as well due to lack of support available. Is there no other way to enable the calendar function or at least just give users the access to send or copy meeting invite links?
- As mentioned in above posts as well Teams requires exchange as a requirement. It actually uses the exchange mailbox of the user to send these messages via calendar / meetings.
I don’t recommend any other alternative rather then wait and try the hybrid sync.PDostiyar
One thing is still unclear to me. Before we made any changes to the group permissions, the Ms teams email notifications were working for a few of our users. The only change we made was to do with a group setting. Basically one of our users was in the wrong group and that's all we changed. After that everything related to emails from ms teams to google mail stopped working. How could that happen?
Should I also enable sync so that exchange has gmails email and vice versa?
If yes how do I enable sync in the admin panel?
sakib2310There is Docs well written about how to Enabled Sync on Exchange you can read and if that meets your tenant requirement then you can give it a try...
