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.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I've just added a Teams Channel Calendar and have run into exactly the same problem. I want it to be a Calendar for the Team, not just for Teams Meetings.

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.
