Overview
With the Microsoft Teams Meeting add-on, you can use Microsoft Teams to easily schedule, join, and customize meetings from Google Calendar.
Important: Third-party apps may display advertisements, require additional terms of service agreements, have a separate privacy policy, or retain your information. For those reasons, add-ons/apps within the Google Workspace Marketplace are currently disabled for the University of Michigan domain, with a few exceptions, such as this one.
If you wish to add a phone call-in line to your Teams meetings, you will first need to request a Microsoft Teams Audio-Conferencing License.
If you receive an error that meeting creation has failed, refer to the ITS knowledge base for more information and troubleshooting.
