Create Microsoft Teams Meeting within Google Calendar

Overview

Teams functionality is included with our Office 365 subscription. An email will be sent to recipients with the meeting invitation, however you will have to manually add it to your own Google calendar to see the event. 

Instructions

There are several ways to do this:

Option 1:  You can schedule a Teams meeting directly inside of the Teams app running on your Windows computer (Teams app must be installed), clicking "Calendar" and then in the upper right corner you can click "New Meeting", or pull that down and there are other options in there that you can use. 

Option 2:  You can do this from the Teams web interface, but there is limited functionality when using the web interface. 

Option 3:  Install the Google Calendar add-on for Teams (click here for the directions). Once you have that installed into your Google calendar, you should now have an option when you create a meeting on Google calendar in the drop down for "Add video conferencing" and you can select Microsoft Teams meeting.  You will need to log in to your Microsoft account via the "Login" link as shown in the directions.  This will schedule a Teams call and will send invitations to anyone that you add to the Google calendar event and will include the Teams meeting code as well.  

Make sure you DO NOT use Outlook for anything when trying to do this.  

Note: We don't fully support Teams as we are a Zoom and Google campus. There will not be full integration with any of our other campus services.
