How to create a shared calendar in Microsoft Teams

A step-by-step tutorial on how to create a shared calendar in Microsoft Teams. This video focuses on a class or staff calendar that is created in SharePoint and added to Teams. I also show how to set permissions for a class calendar to make it read-only for students.

A useful and easy way to add a class or staff shared calendar to your Microsoft Teams. This creates the calendar in SharePoint and then you add it to your team.

I am always creating more quick tip Microsoft Teams teacher tutorials, so let me know in the comments about other features you'd like to see videos for.

So I had to rewind and watch a few 20 times, user issue not teacher, but thus had saves my life and made it worth living again! Thank you so much.

Thanks Mike for this video, it was really helpful. I had to use "classic view" to find the "calendar app" today. Probably because this video is 2 years old. Still helpful though, because if you add a "channel calendar or agenda" you can not get a month-view. If you do it this way it works just fine.

This is great! I just wonder if there is a possibilety to add week number to this calender?

As a staff calendar, could I use it to keep up with staff on vacations and conferences for everyone to see? With creating an event- will everyone get a notification on the day of- (like when a meeting is about to occur) I just need visual content, I do not need staff getting notifications as if it was a meeting, just a visual on who is not at work, working from home or at a conference.

Mike, great tutorial and usefull. Is there a way that this can be placed in to the students calander without approval. From our present SIS this is possible and students see there homework.

Hi Mike, can i have multiple calendars that overlap? Also can you move your team Outlook calendars to MS Teams?

[blakehenderson]

Do the calendar events show on the users teams app calendar or do they have to go directly into the team and the added app to see the events?

[OddgeirSv]

Can I use this to make a shared calendar for several groups? Even a shared calendar for the whole web to see?

[vanishalodge]

Hi Mike, just what I was after. I wanted to ask if there are mutiple events on a particular day, how can I change the colour - I have looked through but I am not getting a "categorise categoy" - are we able to change colours??

[britney]

This is so great, but i don't have the "Permissions" option, did i skip a step??

[nelannbateman]

Is this the same way I would create my "office hours?" I want students and staff to select times to meet w/me based on my availability.

[mehdihassan]

Very useful, but what about the link? Creating an event in this calendar does not have a link, so it is useless.

[sharonm]

Is there any way to notify students automatically about updates to the calendar?

What is the difference to the „groupcalender“ That is automatically Generated for my ms Team in Outlook? Where is That calender safed? I thought in the SharePoint Of the ms Team But i cannot find it there.

[poojakapoor]

My team members are unable to see each others schedule using this calendar, Am I missing something?

[lynnetischler]
