Teams is Unable to Access Your Calendar

Unable to make a calendar event in your Microsoft Teams with your student account? You can create a Teams event in your Google Calendar with the Microsoft Teams add-in.

When to Use?

If you try to access the calendar within Microsoft Teams with a student account, you'll likely be greeted with this message:

Teams is unable to access your Calendar

Students will see this message because they are assigned Gmail accounts, and do not have Outlook with their Microsoft 365 accounts.
