Hi Anthony-123,
it is possible for a Team to be listed as the organizer for an Outlook event, particularly when the event is created within the context of a Microsoft Teams channel or group.
In Microsoft Teams, each team has its own associated Office 365 Group, which includes a shared calendar.
When a member of the Team creates an event in the Team's calendar and invites other Team members, the event is stored within the Team's Office 365 Group calendar.
When events are created within the context of a Team or Group calendar, the organizer of the event is listed as the Team itself rather than the individual who created the event. This is because the event is associated with the Team's calendar and is considered a Team event.

Hello LeonPavesic,
You say:
"When events are created within the context of a Team or Group calendar, the organizer of the event is listed as the Team itself rather than the individual who created the event. This is because the event is associated with the Team's calendar and is considered a Team event."
When a team creates an event, the organizer (the person that creates the meeting) still get "organizer" status, which mean only them can see attendances. I expected any member, or at least owners of the team, to be able to see attendances. Is there a way to allow team members to see attendances when an event is created by a team?
