Group Team Site Calendar view on site page
MicrosoftDeleted - last year we rolled a new web part to first targeted release customers that shows you the appointments in a group calendar. You can read about the announcement here.
The initial version of this web part only display the events in a list like format.
When we user tested some simple calendar views that "didn't quite look like outlook", users weren't happy with the experience. Instead of holding off on giving you access to the data, we decided to release the first version as an easy way to show group calendar information to your sites.... but understanding, it's not a "desktop calendar view".
The Outlook team is working on a project to make Outlook Web Access (OWA) even better. One of the side benefits of this project will be reusable views & components, that we can leverage to give you that outlook calendar like experience as a view option in Group Calendar. I can't comment on a timeline for these efforts yet, but know that we understand people want to see their calendar appointments in a calendar like view.
Any new updates on this since your original post from 3 1/2 years ago?
I find it beyond crazy that we still can't get a month view of our company wide 365 Group calendar on the SharePoint site that is tied to the group. Can you at least find out and tell us if there is some sort of url parameter that we can tack onto https://outlook.office.com/calendar/view/month to have OWA show us the group calendar? Then we could at least put an action button or quick link on the page where we have the Group's event list that would show then the month view in OWA. I can add the link above, but then the users have to know to check the group calendar they want to view once OWA opens.
