MS Teams integration with Google?

Question

Hi I am curios if there is a manageable way to integrate MS Teams with Google Mail and Calendaring. We are evaluating Teams instead of Slack, and we presently sue Google. Teams features seem tightly integrated with Microsoft 365. We will have some licenses of 365 but not all of the users will be on it. Any thoughts on this? Thanks

Hi KyleWatson-9987,

Agree with Manu, you can enable Teams for Education for Google users without an Exchange mailbox.

About Google Calendar, you could connect your Google Calendar with Microsoft Teams with Automate.io. However, you can only send a message via Microsoft Teams when there is an event in Google Calendar. For more information, please refer to: https://automate.io/integration/google-calendar/microsoft-teams.

Answer 2

Hi,
there is no integration between Teams and Google Calendar at this moment.

Is it present a UserVoice on that but no roadmap.

Hello anonymous user,

There is an integration possibility available : Teams for Education for Google users without an Exchange mailbox

The idea is like this

1. You can create mail users with in office 365 (user will have google account as well as office 365 account and user can login to MS services eg. team)
2. Assign Teams license to the user
3. User team with most of the features enabled and list of features enabled/not-available is below:

Hope this helps

Thanks,
