Teams calendar synchronization with google calendar
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.
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?

thomaslaasch We are facing the same issue. Were you able to figure it out?

edcusa Unfortunately not. I know it has something to do with mail settings within Office. I am only the Teams Administrator and do not have access to that. I am hoping for a detailed answer soon.

thomaslaasch were you able to resolve? We are now in this boat. Our invitations from Teams go to Web Outlook, which we didn't know we had and do not want to use. Any workaround or through outlook to G Suite/Gmail?
