Add an EVENT to Channel Calendar
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.
- Hi Matt, just re-read your response. Do you only need a Calendar for the Team?
My question was specifically in regard to the Channel capability, ie I would like to have a FULL calendar capability for a channel. This would allow me to have events specific to each channel activity.
Teams is effectively a front end to several MS products. I guess you could think of a Team being a Group with added capability providing collaborative working (see the link within the support URL provided by ChristianBergstrom).
Being a Group, it 'automatically' has a Group Calendar, which your Team can access. This is discussed as the Highly Requested Feature that Christian refers to. As mentioned, there is a workaround in place. You will need to open the Group Calendar in O365, copy the URL, and add it as a web page to Teams.
Hope that helps. Sorry, either people don’t seem to comprehend the difference, or Microsoft are just choosing to ignore it. My guess is that MS have not implemented Channel Calendars properly, as it appears to be integrated with the Team Calendar. I suspect they have inadvertently ended up with a limitation due to poor design, but just choose to ignore it ...just noticed an MSFT has marked 'Best Response Confirmed' above ...kinda illustrates that some people don’t get the basic concept of an event based calendar. IMO the best response appears to simply be, ‘no, you can’t add an event’ ....go figure! It is disheartening that someone from MS Engineering doesn't acknowledge the problem.

ChristianBergstrom best response has a link that provides an error. I am looking for the ability to have a teams channel calendar that would allow events that DO NOT invite members of the teams channel. Example conference and event tracking that is for organizational awareness, but NOT placed on members calendars.
