Microsoft has a history of simultaneously offering multiple products within the same category, as is the case with Microsoft Teams Calendar and Outlook Calendar.

Technically they are the same calendar, even though users can access Microsoft Teams Calendar and Outlook Calendar separately.

This fact makes syncing Google Calendar with Microsoft Teams Calendar a little bit convoluted, as there is no way to import a Google Calendar into Microsoft Teams Calendar.

Furthermore, Microsoft Teams Calendar only displays the primary Calendar in Outlook, so there is no native way of syncing Google Calendar with Microsoft Teams Calendar.

It’s not all bad news though, as in this article, we’ll explain how to sync Google Calendar with Microsoft Teams Calendars to keep your availability streamlined.

Why is Syncing Google Calendar with Microsoft Teams Not Possible By Importing?
