Microsoft Teams is a popular app for chatting, video calls, and organizing meetings. By default, Teams uses your Outlook calendar. If you prefer using Google, you can swap your Outlook calendar for your Google calendar.

Why connect Google Calendar to Teams?

You might want to switch if you already use Google tools for your daily tasks. It helps keep all your appointments in one place so you do not have to check two different apps.

What happens when you are done?

Once you connect your Google calendar, it replaces your Outlook calendar in Teams. Your Outlook events will no longer sync to Teams. If you want to go back to Outlook later, you must disconnect your Google account first.

Follow these steps to connect your Google calendar:

  1. Open the Microsoft Teams app from your Start menu.
  2. Turn on or off automatically starting Microsoft Teams
  3. You can also open the app using the Taskbar or Taskbar overflow.
  4. Turn on or off automatically starting Microsoft Teams
  5. If the app opens in a small window, click the expansion button to open the full Teams view.
  6. Turn on or off automatically starting Microsoft Teams
  7. Click the Settings and more button (the three dots) near your profile picture and select Settings.
  8. Turn on or off automatically starting Microsoft Teams
  9. On the left side, click the Calendar tab.
  10. On the right side, find the Google calendar tile and click the Connect button.
  11. Connect Google Calendar to Microsoft Teams
  12. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm you want to use Google calendar.
  13. Connect Google Calendar to Microsoft Teams
  14. Your web browser will open. Sign in to your Google account and give Teams permission to manage your calendar.

Once finished, Google Calendar will be your default. Close the Teams app to save your changes.

Summary

Connecting your Google calendar to Microsoft Teams makes it easier to track your schedule if you are already a Google user. Remember that this replaces your Outlook calendar and you can only use one at a time. If you need to switch back, simply return to the Settings menu to disconnect your Google account.
