Invitations to meeting (teams or "ordinary" sent to icloud email dont give to option to the invited to respond

Question

When somebody wants to invite me on my icloud email to a meeting, both "ordinary" and teams meeting, i get the invite-email but there is no info on the mail about the date and time of the meeting and most importan, no way to respond to the invite. When i send to the same icloud email an invitation from exemple gmail then i get the option to respond and the date and time of the meeting. It seems that the problem is on Microsoft side.
Any idea on how to solve this?

Hi @Alexandros Vlastos

As you said, when you use your icloud email to accept a Teams/Outlook meeting invitation, the meeting invitation does not include the meeting time and you cannot reply.

This is due to Microsoft's design. Only if your account is also a Microsoft account (including Teams and Outlook licenses), you can reply to the invitation and view the meeting time.

The purpose of this design is that after you check the meeting time and respond to the invitation, the meeting can be synchronized to your Outlook calendar, but the calendars of other mailboxes cannot be synchronized. I recommend that the organization invite your icloud email into the organization as a guest user so that you can view information in the Outlook calendar.
