Hi Team, I am using the Outlook for Mac 16.50 on a Microsoft 365 business standard subscription. One of the accounts I have setup in this calendar is a Google account. When I accept the invitations from someone else's Google calendar containing a Google meet, addressed to my Gmail account, although I can accept the invitation and the entry appears in my Outlook calendar, it has no content - there is no Google meet information. I can see the invitation list and meeting title, and that's it.
The meeting link and information is unavailable and these are the meetings which I am able to join from Google Calendar. Most likely, it's a bug in Outlook client.

The new Outlook and Old Outlook, both have same issue.

    Hi @Vibhanshu Jain ,

    Welcome to Q&A forum!

    What's the google account that you are working with (Google Workspace account or personal gmail account)
    And could you see the detailed information normally in meeting inviation in Outlook for mac before you accept it?

    According to my tests with two personal gmail account on Outlook for Mac version 16.50(21061301), I could check the detailed Google meet information in my calnedar like below, please kindly check if there are any differences between mine and yours(such as client version, account type and test setps etc.):

    version information:

    Create a meeting from Gmail web>Add google meet link>send the invitation to the guest
    108814-snipaste-2021-06-24-10-45-37.jpg
    login the guest's account in Outlook for mac, receive invitation and accept it with response "Thanks"

    the meeting is added to my calendar automatically, double-click to open the meeting, it could display the google meet link normally
