Microsoft Graph Create Event - Linebreaks in descriptions appear in Outlook Calendar, but not in Teams Calendar

Using Microsoft Graph REST API, we create an Outlook calendar event

Focus on the body attribute:

{
  ...,
  "body": {
    "contentType": "text",
    "content": "Test\n\nTest"
  }
}

We would expect the event's description, as shown in Outlook Calendar and in Teams Calendar (Microsoft Teams > Calendar tab), to then be:

Test

Test

This is the case in Outlook calendar (outlook.com). However, in Teams Calendar, it displays as:

Test Test

We've also tried \r\nTest\r\n\r\nTest\r\n with the same result.

How can we have linebreaks in the description/body of the event we create, correctly displayed in Outlook and Teams?

Simply change the contentType to HTML but use the exact text you have.

Based on my experiments this works correctly in both teams and outlook

According to the itemBody documentation of the event, you can also add it as html. Then you'll know for sure how it's is going to look.

{
  "body": {
    "contentType": "html",
    "content": "<h1>test</h1><br />\n<p>test</p>"
  }
}

Keep in mind that not all html is supported, but it should get you a long way. And "nice" html isn't really a requirement, so this would also work: test<br />\ntest
