Connecting Google Calendar to Microsoft Teams in Windows 11 lets you see your personal and work schedules in one place, so you don’t have to keep switching apps. Your Google events sync into the Teams calendar view. Teams shows only one primary calendar service at a time.

That means Google Calendar and Outlook can’t both run inside Teams at once. Switching back to Outlook takes only a few clicks in your account settings, so the change is easy to undo.

The Google Calendar option appears in the Teams app that Windows 11 installs for personal use. If you use Teams with a work or school account, your organization may control which calendars you can connect. If the Google tile is missing later in this guide, that is the most likely reason, and your IT admin can confirm.

⚡ Quick Answer

Open Microsoft Teams, go to Settings , then Calendar, and click Connect on the Google calendar tile. Authorize the connection in your web browser by signing into your Google account and granting permissions. This integrates your Google Calendar directly into your Teams interface.

The process has four parts. You open Teams, switch to the full window, add your Google account in the settings , and approve the connection in your browser. Once that is done, your Google appointments and meetings show up inside Teams, with no window switching.

Before you start, have your Google account email and password ready. You will sign in to Google in your browser partway through.

If you use Teams often, pin it to the Taskbar or Taskbar overflow. That gives you a quicker way to launch it next time.

Next, pick the calendar service you want Teams to use.

  1. In the left-hand menu, choose the Calendar tab.
  2. On the right, find the Google calendar tile.
    💡If you can't find the Google calendar tile

    The Google calendar tile has been removed from Microsoft Teams, so it no longer appears in the Calendar settings. Microsoft has taken away the option to connect Google Calendar, and there is no direct replacement in Teams. Don't keep searching the Calendar tab or changing other settings, because the option isn't there. If you need to see your Google events, open Google Calendar in your web browser instead.

  3. Select the tile, then click Connect.

If you don’t see a Google calendar tile, you are probably on a work or school account, or on a version of Teams that doesn’t offer it. See the note at the top of this guide.

Teams now asks you to confirm that you want to connect Google Calendar.

  1. Read the prompt asking you to authorize the Google calendar integration.
  2. Confirm it to continue. Your default browser should open on its own.

Your default browser opens to finish the sign-in. Teams needs your permission to read and manage your scheduling data.

  1. In the browser window, sign in to the Google account whose calendar you want to use.
  2. Review the permissions Teams asks for, then grant them. Granting them authorizes Teams to manage your calendar data.
  3. When the browser says the connection is complete, return to the Teams window.

If you later want to remove the link, you can revoke Teams’ access from your Google account’s security settings.

Once authorization succeeds, Google Calendar becomes the default calendar option in Microsoft Teams. Open the calendar view in Teams to check that your Google events appear. Syncing can take a few moments the first time.

You can now close the Teams app. The setup is finished, and no restart of Windows is needed.
