Problem with TEAMS calendar syncing

Hello Rusty,

I am a Microsoft user like you, providing solutions to community members; I am NOT a Microsoft employee.

The message you received indicates a conflict between your Teams calendar and another calendar (likely your Outlook calendar) for the same event Rusty. Here's how to resolve it:

Resolving the Conflict within Teams:

1. Find the Conflicting Event: Look for the specific event mentioned in the Teams notification. It might be highlighted or flagged within your Teams calendar view.
2. Open the Notification: Click on the notification itself or navigate to the flagged event within your Teams calendar.
3. Resolve the Conflict: A window should appear displaying the conflicting versions of the event. You'll see two options: Keep This Item: Choose this option if you want to keep the version of the event currently displayed in your Teams calendar. Keep All: Select this option if you want to combine the changes from both versions and create a new event reflecting both sets of edits.
4. Save Your Choice: After selecting your preferred option, click "Save" to confirm your choice and resolve the conflict.

Additional Considerations: -Outlook Integration: If you're using Teams alongside Outlook, it's recommended to maintain consistency across both calendars. Choose the version that reflects the most up-to-date and accurate information for the event. -Communicate with Others: If the conflicting edits involve other people, consider sending a quick message or notification to them to inform them of the chosen version and any changes made during conflict resolution.

By following these steps Rusty, you can resolve the calendar conflict within Teams and ensure everyone has the most recent and accurate information about the event.

Stephen - Thanks for the response. Below is what i look like. Any advice on this?

Based on the image you sent, it looks like you're encountering a similar conflict message, but this time within Outlook Rusty. The message specifies a conflict between your Outlook calendar and another calendar (which could be Teams or another account).

The steps to resolve this conflict within Outlook are very similar to those for Teams:

1. Locate the Conflicting Event: Find the specific event mentioned in the Outlook notification. It might be highlighted or flagged within your calendar view.
2. Open the Conflict Resolution Window: Click on the notification itself or navigate to the flagged event within your Outlook calendar. A window or pop-up should appear displaying the details of the conflict.
3. Choose How to Resolve: You'll typically see two options: -Keep My Changes: Select this option if you want to keep the version of the event currently displayed in your Outlook calendar. -Open Recurrence: (For recurring events) This option allows you to edit the specific instance of the recurring event that has the conflict.
4. Save or Send: After selecting your preferred resolution method, click "Save" or "Send" (depending on your Outlook version) to confirm your choice and resolve the conflict.

Here are some additional tips to avoid future conflicts, as mentioned previously:

1. Clear Communication: Communicate clearly with attendees about any changes made to events, especially if you're managing the event across multiple platforms like Outlook and Teams.
2. Utilize Scheduling Tools: Consider using Teams' built-in appointment booking tools or Outlook's scheduling assistant when scheduling events. This can help streamline the process and minimize the risk of double-booking or conflicting edits.
3. Set Reminders: Set reminders for yourself to review upcoming events and ensure details are consistent across your calendars.

Hope this helps
