How to fix the issue that MS Teams lose the links in Outlook Calendar using iCloud for Windows

Question

Running Windows 11, MS Teams invites from Gmail lose the link to the meeting when opening them in the Outlook Calendar. Using iCloud for Windows because of a mixed Apple - Windows setup. Disabling the add-in for iCloud in Outlook solves the issue, but then I lose the synchronisation, which is not acceptable. Used AI now for days to solve this, no progress. The repair function does not do the trick.

This is caused by the iCloud for Windows add-in. When Outlook syncs the calendar through iCloud, it rewrites the meeting item and removes the hidden Teams meeting data — so the Teams link disappears.

Since disabling the iCloud add-in fixes it, that confirms the conflict.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a real “repair” fix for this. It’s a compatibility issue between iCloud calendar sync and Teams meetings.

Workarounds:

• Keep iCloud calendar as secondary and don’t make it the default calendar. • Avoid editing the meeting in Outlook after it syncs. • Or switch to syncing your calendar directly with Microsoft 365/Exchange instead of using iCloud for Windows.
