Group Calendar
- You didn't mention external people in your question. As you noticed they can't access the calendar. But something that is common that people do is creating a Group calendar web part https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-the-group-calendar-web-part-eaf3c04d-5699-48cb-8b5e-3caa887d51ce
As for now you can for example add the calendar as a website (add a tab) adding the URL to it.
- Hi Christian, please can you tell me if there is any update on this functionality? Facing the same issue with MS Teams calendar not displaying group events. Kind regards, Lewis
Re. UserVoice: thanks. I'll go there and vote.
Re. pinning the calendar URI: I thought that could work, but it brings in--at least when I view it--all of my OWA calendars. The URI is apparently unrelated to which radio buttons are checked for including calendars. I do not know whether other Team members would see only the shared calendar and not also my own calendar, but I didn't want to risk it. Do you know how that might work?- See if this helps. And no, you don't have to worry about others seeing what only you have access to.
https://www.marksgroup.net/blog/microsoft-teams-add-a-group-calendar-to-teams/Tried that, and it turns out the issue is more extensive than I thought:
- Team members who are not in my organization have to change tenant in Teams to see the teams tabs. In this case, with the URI of their OWA pinned to the channel, they can see their own calendar just fine, and not mine (thank you), but they do not have an option to view the group calendar. There is no radio button available to them.
- At first I thought this was manageable, because they could see the group calendar in Outlook and just overlay it on their own calendar, but no. In their Outlook--remember, they're not in my organization; they are a guest user in my AAD and a member of my Teams-enabled M365 Group--they do not see the group calendar. Under the Group ribbon tab, when they browse groups (and click All), my organization's group does not appear, even though they are a member. They can see groups within their own organization, but not groups--even of which they are a member--within another organization.This defeats the entire purpose and functionality of cross-organizational teams. It also, more critically, means that team members outside my organization cannot view the group calendar. We now have multiple events being scheduled for group participation, but no apparent way to enter them once and have them available for more than one person (outside the tenant).
Do you see a way around this?
