How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Integrate tasks in planner with Outlook Tasks & Calendar

Every time you create a task in planner via Microsoft Teams and assign it to someone in your organisation/team it would be nice to see that task in outlook as well. I want to know and to be alerted that I have a task assigned to me without having to lon on to Microsoft Teams.
It would be great to have a place to see how many tasks have been created in a team/channel and the status of each one.

    Oh my goodness, I'm shocked this functionality is not sorted. I've set up some Flows both ways, but it's really just copy and paste and does not intelligently sync changes. Please tell me this will launch soon?

    Hi, I echo everyone's comments below.

    Our office would love it if Outlook tasks would sync with Teams/Planner tasks.

    Has this been developing since April of 2020? What is the status?

    Thank you.

    Is microsoft any closer to making these tasks appear in users outlook tasks as well as in planner? It would really be useful to our team members to be able to see in their Outlook what has been assigned to them. Thanks

    Please make it that the schedule task in TEAMS channel when allocated to a person is added to their calendar in TEAMS/Outlook not just planner

    Please integrate Planner Tasks with Outlook Tasks!! This seems like a no-brainer. Integration with Outlook Calendar is ok, but not helpful in prioritizing day to day work.

    Also, Planner Tasks DO APPEAR in MS To-Do, but that doesn't sync with Outlook, like all the other tasks in To-Do.

    I agree, having the task appear on the assignee's calendar automatically would be a huge bonus. or sent as a calendar invite.

    Could the task list be a column within the Teams and Outlook Calendar. It'd be great to see my meetings and tasks (completed and to-do) in one space.

    I think this would be beneficial in teaching our students how to sort important/Urgent/ and how effectively organization plays a role in “efficiency” as it can be a time saver!

    Allow the assignments pushed out to the students to be added on their To Do/Work due calendar so they can have everything merged from all of their teachers/clubs/teams so they can look at the calendar (one calendar and not a separate one from each teacher) and visually see what is due each day.

    Live calendar so if adjustments made on Teacher end it adjust all!
