Add events to teams channel calendar without notifying people

I need to create a calendar on a teams channel to input upcoming events such as exhibitions, and colour code these for specific reasons e.g internal/external events. I'm able to create a calendar in the channel, but when I try to add an event, it only gives me the option to add a new meeting. 

 

The events don't need to be meetings, this calendar is just so the team can check what events are coming up that we may want to attend. 

 

We had a previous calendar on another channel that allowed us to do this, but that channel has now been deleted.

 

Does anyone know how I go about adding events to a teams channel calendar, without it becoming a meeting and notifying people?

    Hello niamhb1430 

    welcome to the Microsoft community, my name is Recep I'll be happy to help you today.

    I understand that you want to add events to a teams channel calendar, without it becoming a meeting and notifying people.

     

    1.Kindly create a SharePoint page and add the group calendar to that page.
    2.Create a new tab in the channel that links to the SharePoint page you just created.
    Instructions for those 2 steps are here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i543O6vMNt4&t=1s

    3. users need to use Outlook to add events to the group calendar. Everyone will see the events,
    they'll appear on the SharePoint page, but no one receives any meeting invites or notifications at all.
