Teams calendar synchronization with google calendar
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!

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.
