Hi,

Your Teams calendar syncs from the exchange mailbox in Office 365, so it should be a case of syncing the mailbox to google per the article below.

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.howtogeek.com/435975/how-to-show-an-outlook-calendar-in-google-calendar/amp/

As a caveat, this is the personal calendar not the calendar for the team in the shared mailbox attached to the Office 365 group. In addition there are numerous articles online which state that it can take some time to sync entries (I.e. up to 12 hours) so may not be a great experience. I would consider installing the Outlook app and adding GMail there.

Hope that answers your question!

Best, Chris

    Hi ChrisHoardMVP ,

    Thanks for your post. I have an additional question:

     

    Our company is actually working on google (Calendar, Mail, etc.)

    Due to Coronavirus we also activated microsoft teams. 

     

    First I'd like to let you know what my goal is: 

    We only want to use ONE calendar, where it is easily possible to create Microsoft Team Meetings (like in Microsoft Team Calendar). 

     

    As Outlook is the basis for Teams I have tried the connection from both sides:

    • I shared my google calendar to Microsoft Outlook by using the link. 
    • And I shared my outlook to google same way round with the link.

    The problems right now are:

     

    • I see the imported google calendar in outlook, but not in teams
    • I can't edit any google calendar entries in outlook and of course not in teams
    • the calendar entries don't get updated on both sides (Google and outlook)

    Do you have any recommendations in this case?

    We just want to avoid that we have to create a calendar entry in Google and in Teams. 

     

    It would also be fine working with a chrome extension or something else. But I haven't found any solutions yet. Thanks for your help in advance.

     

    Cheers from Vienna,

    Angela.

      I tried the same, export Google Calendar to Outlook. In Outlook I can see all my calendars, but Teams shows me just the main Outlook Calendar.

      I understand the Teams Calendar Tool would be a "calendar choose to show" like Outlook. 

       

      Sorry about my Outlook is in portuguese, but you can see the calendar selection.

       

      It's not enough for both side sync, but at least we could see Google Calendar in Teams like in Outlook.

        Hello emerzuc !

         

        Same problem here! E-mail and Calendar hosted @Gsuite trying to connect MS Teams.

         

        I just got the MS Teams button in my Outlook but it is note synchronized with my Google Agenda.

         

        I'm trying to send invitations to my team but it doesn't work. We chose MS Teams because we are a MS supplier and we need to use this solution.

        I'm from Sao Paulo, Brazil and I was wondering if somebody could help me with this issue.

      Hi Angela_LEAD_Innovation , @Christopher Hoard

       

      We are facing a similar problem. We started using Microsoft Teams and our email domain is hosted in Gmail. When scheduling a meeting, the invite to external invitees not on our domain receive the invitation emails. Internal invitations are sent out, but land up in Web Outlook. They are not sent to the email addresses in Gmail. I test sending an email from Web Outlook to my work email address hosted in Gmail, it ends up again in Web Outlook and not on Gmail. What do we need to do that those emails are routed correctly?
