first day of week in calendar of Microsoft Teams
- This is depending on the app language you set in the client! For example if you have English (UK) you will have mon-sun and if you set the app language to English (US) it will change to sun-mon
There’s currently no other way of doing this.

Restart Outlook & Teams the new settings will take effect. This worked for me.
I already had my Outlook Calendar settings set to Monday; my PC's Teams and Outlook and my laptop's Outlook all show week starting on Monday, but my laptop's Teams showed Sunday until I changed my laptop's Teams language from en-AU to en-UK.
Ooooo Microsoft why. Australia is a Monday-Sunday country!
- Microsoft should aim for "tied-granularity". The settings for language preferences, keyboard preferences, calendar settings, currency settings, etc. should all be able to be set and maintained separately but you should be able to reset to the defaults for your country and language should you wish to.
Lexicron Thank you Lexicron. This was so helpful. I am based in the Middle East where the working week starts on a Sunday so I really do need Sunday to be the first day of the calendar week. But we also use British as opposed to American English. By switching to Australian English I'm getting the best of both worlds!
But why, why, why does Microsoft tie the first day of the week to the chosen language. These are two independent parameters that we should be able to customise to our unique situations and preferences.
