Teams calendar synchronization with google calendar
Hi all,
i need to connect my Teams calndar to my gmail calendar. Any syggestions?
manos1976, did you ever get resolution for this? I have the same question, but it looks like the thread dropped about a week ago.
Currently, I am syncing Google Calendar with Outlook very successfully.
However, those same Google Calendar entries that are syncing to Outlook do not pull into Teams from Outlook, at least not automatically. Like you, I'm thinking there must be a setting I'm missing somewhere. Plus, we are VERY new to Teams, so admittedly, the learning curve is steep for now.
If you found a solution Google Calendar/Outlook Calendar/Teams Calendar sync, can you please share? Thank you!
- Update: I finally gave in and just moved everything from Google calendar to Outlook/MS 365. To move calendar items from the GoogleSphere into the MS 365sphere was less of a headache than trying to figure out why Teams couldn't see Google calendar. I don't normally give up easily, but after a few days of research, it seemed like an uphill battle that required too much time + energy to fight. Good luck to everyone searching for the workaround/solution!!! I have mad respect for your tenacity! 🙂
- I confronted the same problem too and my MS Teams account i guess it a university account. I think i solved the issue at least on the meeting that i myself schedule by adding attendee by typing my Gmail that associated with my GCalendar and tada the meeting invitation show up on my GCalendar. I hope this help.
- 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, ChrisHi 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?
- Thanks it still works in 2022.
ChrisHoardMVP thanks for your response.
i have another issue. in outlook doesn't appear my teams calendar. Any suggestion for that?
- Hi,
Can you let me know what you mean? If it is your personal calendar, this syncs to Exchange and therefore should show in Outlook when connecting to your Office 365 account.
If you mean the underlying shared calendar for the team then these are even visible yet in Teams, or the Outlook app. Microsoft is working on it per uservoice
https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/16933204-include-office-365-group-calendar-in-teams
So we should see this functionality in the future!
Best, Chris
Hey.
Maybe this is what you are looking for - https://automate.io/integration/google-calendar/microsoft-teams
You can get notified on Teams of any changes or additions in your Google Calendar.
Let me know if this helps.
- I can't connect my Teams account. When I type in my email it just says it "isn't in our system".
Hi Brian - thanks for your comment
I am also trying to find a way to link MST calendar with GCalendar (what we use at our university) We started to use MST during lockdown. Synchronising calenders are now crucial if you want to use MST effectively.
I also saw 'Automate' but there is pricing attached to it.
Any alternatives? Trying to import Outlook calendar link to GCalendar. Not having success - but will try further.
Want to know how I can integrate MS Teams calender TO Google Calendar.
At present, I cannot view my teams calendar in google or outlook.
Any solution for this?Hey there people!
Got to this discussion with the same problem. Any solution on sight?

ce mai faceti
manos1976 I've been looking for a way to connect my two calendars for each of the companies I own.. My suggestion to all the people who are using teams for communication and gmail for email is to move everything to O365. Companies like mine can help with that migration.
Google recently launched Calendar Interop:
https://support.google.com/a/answer/7444958
Could this be an answer?
I haven't tried it yet for the single reason that users have to be on different domains in Google Workspace vs O365, whereas I have set up a SAML single sign-on to O365 (as well as automatic user provisioning) using Google as identity provider. As a result, all our users are automatically mirrored across both systems on the same domain. But if someone decided to try Calendar Interop out, it would help to learn their experience.- I use https://www.onecal.io/ to do this, as it automatically syncs my calendars and allows removing meeting details I don't want to sync to other calendars.
