Hi,  Dushanthani Balasubramaniam. 

I am facing the same issue here. Do you have any solution about it?

Is there any place where we can ask for this enhancement?

Thanks,

Patrícia Muzy

Hi Patricia and Dushanthani,
PLEAE DO NOT COUNT ON MY ANSWER, but maybe it would help you somehow.
Well...

1. Please note that both of you didn't write how you are scheduling a meeting. Are you using the "Teams Meeting" (atto_teamsmeeting) plugin for that?
https://moodle.org/plugins/atto_teamsmeeting

2. If you are indeed using the atto_teamsmeeting plugin, Please note that in the readme file of this plugin:
And in it there is a section about the option to host the meeting app locally, and in this section there is a link to this document:
https://github.com/enovation/msteams-app-lms-meetings
Yeah, I know that maybe you are not using a local app with the plugin, but I assume that maybe this mechanism of the plugin (not creating the meetings in Outlook/Teams calendar) applies to both situations (local app or not). Maybe...

3. Even if the plugin itself doesn't help you, please note that in June/July 2022 Microsoft apparently added new Moodle-Teams integration capabilities and API:
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams-blog/what-s-new-in-microsoft-teams-july-2022/ba-p/3583944#education

4. There is the following June 2022 webinar recording:
Transforming Teaching & Learning through Microsoft 365 & Enovation on Moodle
Minutes 22:58-30:38 = It seems that they are talking about NEW FEATURES
Minutes 31:22-33:49 = It seems that they are talking about UPCOMING FEATURES. 
When talking about the new features, it is shown how teams meetings can be created inside Moodle. Is it 100% guaranteed that the meetings would be shown in Outlook/Teams calendar? I don't know, but I sure hope so smile

It would be nice to know, even if it would take some time, to know if the information somehow helped you. I didn't see yet the new integration APIs in action, so it would be cool to get some feedback from other Moodlers how these API work in practice.

Good luck smile
