Add an EVENT to Channel Calendar
- Apr 16, 2021
ChrizK Hello, just to put it out there it's a highly requested feature being worked on https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/16933204-include-office-365-group-calendar-in-teams
As for the channel calendar it's only a calendar for channel meetings that have been scheduled in that team in that channel.
You would have to use the Outlook client to create an appointment and not a meeting, but unfortunately not possible to schedule in channels from Outlook today.

Sorry but the answer proposed does not respond to the request. The request is to schedule "events" not just meetings on the calendar. For example, I know that there is a webinar of interest for the team (on another platform) and I want to place on the team calendar the "event" possibly with a link to the external platform where the event takes place. That would make the calendar much more useful. Any idea? Thanks

- ChrizKApr 16, 2021Brass ContributorSorry Vittorio, that should have been a reply to PositiveEnergy, as I appreciate you were only reiterating/confirming my question.
- ChrizKMar 18, 2021Brass ContributorApologies, I completely missed the initial response.
I very much appreciate anyone taking the time to help, but the video clearly shows someone selecting ‘add EVENT’, adding a MEETING, and then proceeding to join that meeting. This clearly illustrates my whole point ... it is nit an event, it is a meeting.
A simple example of a calendar event ‘Leave now to go to dentist’ ... it isn’t a meeting in which I am inviting the dentist, it is an event in my calendar telling me to leave.
I am a little unsure why the basic concept of an event is proving difficult to understand.
