How can I See calendar of my team member in Microsoft Teams, as outlook?
Hello there,
I've been accustomed to viewing the calendars of both my boss and my teammates in Outlook. I'm curious if there's a similar feature in Microsoft Teams. Could you please guide me on how to accomplish this?
Thank you!

Hi ricovar96,
unfortunately, Microsoft Teams does not offer the option to view a shared calender in the same way like Outlook does.
In Microsoft Teams you can check (view) when a person is free or not and get a suggested (best) time to have a meeting.
You can do that by following these steps:- Click on the “Calendar” icon on the left side of the Teams interface.
- On the upper-right side of the screen, click on the drop-down menu next to “New Meeting”.
- Select the person whose calendar you want to view, you will be able to see their schedule.
I'm not sure whether the calendar functionality in Teams has been updated since Leon posted his answer, but it is no longer correct.
The following uses the browser version of Outlook and Teams...
Navigate to your Outlook view of your calendar (https://outlook.office.com/calendar) and use the "Add calendar" feature to add someone else's calendar. Depending on the permissions they have extended to you, their calendar will be visible alongside your own. (Repeat to add more co-workers' calendars, resource calendars, group calendars &etc.)
Navigate to your Teams view of your calendar (https://teams.microsoft.com) and under "People's calendars" you can select those that you would like to see alongside your own.
Why the Teams calendar view doesn't have the "Add calendar" feature is a mystery - but at least there is a viable workaround until the Teams product development team consider fully harmonising the user interfaces for Calendar in both Teams and Outlook.
Best regards,

P.S. I've just checked, and the Teams desktop app (Windows) also shows colleagues calendars that have been added via Outlook - though I am not seeing an obvious way to view other people's calendars in the Android Mobile version of Teams. As I am not a fan of Outlook for Windows, I'll let someone else test it there and update us.
