How might it be possible for a Team to be an event Organizer in Outlook?

Hello Anthony,

You can create meetings on behalf of a Team by following one of the two methods below:

Option 1 – Using a Teams Channel

1. Go to the target channel in Microsoft Teams.
2. If the Channel Calendar tab is not visible, click the "+" icon at the top of the channel and add the calendar manually.
3. Click "New Event," add your meeting details and invite participants. The channel is automatically linked to the meeting.

Option 2 – Using the Outlook Group Calendar

When you create a Team via admin.microsoft.com, it automatically creates a Microsoft 365 Group with a shared calendar.

To access and use the Group calendar:

1. Go to https://outlook.office.com/calendar
2. On the left-hand panel, scroll to the "Groups" section.
3. Click on your Team’s name.
4. Open the Calendar tab.

While viewing the Group calendar, click "New Event" and enter the event details. You can either invite specific individuals or leave it blank if all Group members should be notified automatically.

Once saved, the Group your Team will be listed as the organizer of the meeting. Members will receive notifications based on their settings and may be able to co-manage the event, depending on permissions.

Best,
