Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Google Calendar: Can I use Google Calendar offline?

Yes. On the web, Google Calendar works in read-only mode offline for cached events. On iOS and Android, the Google Calendar app automatically caches recent events and lets you create, edit, and respond to events offline. Changes sync automatically when you reconnect to the internet.

Teamup: Does Teamup work offline?

The Teamup mobile apps allow you to view your calendar offline on iOS and Android, seeing all scheduled events and details synced before you lost connectivity. However, you cannot edit existing events offline to prevent version conflicts. You can create new events offline, but they become read-only until you regain internet connection.

Source
Google Calendar: Can I export my calendar data?

Yes. Google Calendar exports as ICS files through Settings > Import & export > Export. ICS files are readable by Outlook, Apple Calendar, Thunderbird, and most other calendar applications.

Source
Teamup: Does Teamup integrate with Google Calendar or Outlook?

Teamup integrates with Google Calendar and Outlook through iCalendar (ICS) feeds, allowing you to synchronize Teamup events with your existing calendar systems. You can also use Zapier to automate workflows between Teamup and 2000+ third-party applications including Slack and Microsoft Teams.

Source
Google Calendar: Does Google Calendar integrate with video conferencing?

Yes. Google Calendar integrates natively with Google Meet and Zoom. When you create an event, you can add a video conference link directly. Other platforms like Webex and GoTo Meeting can be integrated via Zapier or third-party automation.

Source
Teamup: What platforms does Teamup support?

Teamup is available as a web application, with native mobile apps for iOS and Android. There is no dedicated desktop application for Windows or macOS; the web version works in any modern browser.

Google Calendar: Can I share my calendar with teams?

Yes. You can share individual calendars with specific people or make them publicly viewable. However, accessing shared calendars on mobile devices has limitations, and push notifications for shared calendars may not work reliably on phones.
