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.
sakib2310, here's a tie breaker for GMail & O365 mail interoperability.
This article describes how to setup O365 to GMail retranslation:

This almost same article describes how to setup redirection for Teams users existing in both O365 and GMail:

I personally suffer from Teams scheduled meetings notifications falling into O365 empty mailboxes instead of GMail. This link above should solve this.
I ended up this workaround:
1. Set my domain type as internal relay,
2. Create an org-partner connector, triggered by rule, which use MX records to send away anything.
3. Create a rule for all internal recipients to send through this connector.
UPD: This solution will allow to redirect everything to GMail, but will leave O365 mailboxes empty. For MS Teams calendar to work you should have O365 mailbox populated with invites too. Check the solution in the next post instead.
FTravinskyFirst of all, thanks for replying, I gave up on ms teams because of this reason. My issue is that all my users use gsuite and gmail as their main office environment and I don't maintain the active directory at alll, but I want to use teams and like you said the notifications go into the empty outlook mailbox. I will forward this to my boss but again thank you so much for replying.
