Hi, I'm struggling with finding a good way to have a shared calendar with our Microsoft Teams team of 100+ members. We'd like to have a shared calendar where things like all the teams standups, d...

This is still a relevant discussion, and it still seems like there is no easy answer to achieve this.
Have there been any advances in Teams or Outlook groups to make this easier accomplish?

SaraBae I'm having the same problem! I can't even edit a note on a shared calendar event within Teams without it sending an email to everyone on the Team! SO annoying. Have you found a solution?
- jdrury-communityJun 15, 2022Copper ContributorWe are struggling with this same use case. has anyone figured out a good end to end solution to allow easy publication of events to a central calendar without notifying anyone that a event is there?

We have just migrated from Google Workspace and we are trying to duplicate the functionality we had there. Specifically, a set of shared calendars (Vacation, Travel, Deployment) where staff would post events and everyone could see them, but did not receive invitations. We created a M365 Group and ran into an issue where either:
1) if people were a member of the group they received the invitations (even though we did NOT check "Send copies of group conversations and events to group members", this seems like a bug)
2) if people were not members then they could not add the calendar to their Online Outlook (we are largely using Online Outlook as it has more functionality than the macOS Outlook, we are a mac shop).An M365 group with the correct settings looked like the right answer but it did not work out that way. Is there a simple way to achieve this (for both administration and end users) ?

Glad I'm not the only one!
I want to be able to do the following
1. User creates a meeting on their personal calendar.
2. Invites Group to thereby place the event on the Shared Calendar
3. Have to option to set it NOT to email the Group members. In this example the Las Vegas Showroom group.
Hope there is a setting or solution!
