Ical syncs to Outlook but not Teams

Question

Ical syncs to Outlook but not Teams

Mark Kover 1

Hi

Ultimately trying to sync my Ical (Mac OS) with Teamshave pretty much everything working except that events created in Ical show up in my outlook calendar but then for some reason those events don't sync to my Teams Calendar. If however I create an event in Outlook if syncs perfectly. Seems to just be some issue with the events that are forwarded from Ical.

Hi
According to your description, I have the following questions to confirm with you：
What do you mean by the event you created?
If you create a Teams meeting through Outlook, can it sync to the Teams calendar?
As far as I know, the calendar in Teams is for meetings. Only the message of the meeting you want to participate in (including Teams Meeting, Live Event, and Webinar) is displayed, and no other event schedules are displayed.

Any event I create in outlook calendar automatically show up in teams regardless of if is a teams meeting or not (could be a doctors appt. for example). This allows others in my team to see my availability for meetings etc. The syncing between the two is seamless with the exception of events created in Ical that are pushed to outlook. those events show up in my outlook calendar but not my teams calendar

Hi @Mark Kover
Events created in Outlook appear in Teams because the meeting you created has the option for Teams meetings enabled. Only meetings with the option for Teams meetings enabled appear in the team calendar. In other words, meetings in Outlook may not all appear in Teams (unless Teams meetings are enabled), but meetings in the Teams calendar will certainly appear in Outlook. This is by design.

Why on earth would you only want Outlook events to show up in Teams if it is a "Teams" meeting? This "by design" feature is horrible, both for Outlook only users, and also for anyone attempting to sync calendars like the OP.
