Adding a shared calendar to a Team

Hi,   I'm struggling with the fact that for some of our Teams, there is a shared calendar, automatically showing up in Outlook for every team member, but for some Teams there isn't.   When I go t...

    Well, if you're not an admin, you cannot change it 🙂 Here's an example:

     

    Set-UnifiedGroup GroupName -HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled:$false

VasilMichev thanks for your insightful comment! I googled the property and realised that I'm not alone in this frustration :).

 

So...I'm "just a user" trying to get a shared calendar for my Team, and thus I'm not really an IT admin...you don't happen to have an example of what a PowerShell command might look like that would (1) check this property status and (2) set it to false? Or at least point me (and any other beginner reading this thread) to a direction where I could learn that without too much of a time investment?

 

Thank you so much :smile:

    VasilMichev Can you help with the script to change HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled:$false for ALL my groups? I would like all of them to be able to be seen in Outlook. Not just a few. Thank you.

    VasilMichev thanks a million!

     

    :xd:I realize I can't change it if I'm not an admin, but in this case I have to tell my admins exactly what to do, because they're too busy with other stuff to actually learn about this...

     

    With that being said...if you feel like keep helping noobs like myself - I take it that "GroupName" is the only variable in the command you suggested. How do I find GroupName? I'm sure i can't just put the display name of the group in Teams, right? Because it contains spaces. Is it enough with quoting it such as in the regular command line? Also, the team has changed name since it's creation, and the URL to the sharepoint page for the Team reflects the original name rather than the new one. So any pointers to how I know what name to use in this command would be highly appreciated :smile:

      Best tell them to use the email address of the group.

        VasilMichev Ah! Thanks! And that's the old name. Any ideas on how to change the e-mail adress of the group so it matches the new name of the group/team?
