Recurring meeting Outlook to Google Calendar only syncs one day

Kitty 1

Hello all, when I try to send my team a recurring meeting (Mon-Fri) via Outlook, that they open via Google Calendar, they only see it recurring on Mondays. The participants using Outlook see Mon-Fri as it should be. Any ideas on what to do? PS. The meetings are held on Microsoft Teams. I am using Outlook 365 Version 2201 (Build 14827.20220) for Business. Same issue through app and web. When we do it the other way around i.e. sending the series from Google to Outlook, then the meetings only appear on Fridays.

Hi @Kitty ，

Welcome to our forum!

According to my test: Create a recurring meeting in Teams, and add both outlook and google recipients, when I view it from outlook and google respectively, the recurring meeting is displayed normally, and your problem is not reproduced.

Can you tell me how you sent this recurring meeting? If possible, please provide a screenshot and hide personal information. It is recommended you try my steps to see if the problem occurs.
In addition, according to your description, it seems that the problem is more related to Google, it is recommended that you contact Google to get more support

Hello @Faery Fu-MSFT ,

Thank you!

For some reason it doesn't allow me to upload even the smallest image so let me write what I do here instead (I have my Outlook in Swedish so if my terminology is off, you know why....)

Go to Outlook calendar

New meeting

Make recurring

Start time 09:45-10

How often: Day > Every workday

Starts: Mon 2022-03-15

Ends: No end date

OK

Click to add "Teams Meeting"

The link is added

Add the participants

Send

What happens now is:

All users with Outlook sees the recurring meeting as it should

All users with Google Calendar only see the meeting recurring on Mondays

If the invitation is done through Google Calendar instead:

All users with Google Calendar sees the recurring meeting as it should

All users with Outlook only see the meeting recurring on Fridays

P.S I have reached out to Google but I am still waiting for any response. I suppose that will be hard to get.

Hi @Kitty ，

Have you tried my steps？

Create recurring meeting in Teams

Add recipients

Recipients in outlook and gmail can see the calendar normally.

Hope this can help you!

Hello @Faery Fu-MSFT , I followed your exact steps now (I didn't see it previously), but it's still the exact same problem :( The external participants that I am inviting via Teams this time, recieve it in Gmail only see recurrance on Mondays.

Update: If I change it to recurring weekly Mon-Sun then it turns up correctly! I.e. Mon-Fri does not work but all week does.

@Faery Fu-MSFT , I'm sorry but your solution did not work for me. It works if I set it up the way you (and I) did according to the steps above, but setting the dates Mon-Sun, not Mon-Fri.

Hi @Kitty ，

From your description, the Calendar in Outlook shows correctly, and seems that the issue is more related to Google Calendar.
Maybe the time zone of the person using Google Calendar is not set correctly.
Sorry for not helping you, if your case is resolved, I would appreaciate if you could come back to share the solution.
