Shared Calendar issue (Teams vs Outlook)
Thanks for your answer!
I was afraid that would be the case. I often have a hard time understanding Microsoft's convoluted logic.
Besides the approach I perceived as "sensible" do you know of an alternative (best) practice? I'm really just looking for a simple way to show the attendance of the team...
mvanderzande Users will need to put these things in their personal calendar anyway, so why duplicate effort to create another copy, just share your calendar and use Outlook to show them all together.
Teams doesn't have a good solution to show this in that client, but you will see the free/busy when you attempt to book things.
StevenC365 Agree on not duplicating things. The idea though is to show 'communal' events in the Teams agenda. I mean, it's there for a reason one would think? 🙂
The weird thing is that it does not show everything, or rather does not show events in Teams entered in Outlook, though it DOES show events entered in Teams in Outlook... don't understand the logic there.
mvanderzande There are multiple channels per team, so the channel calendar needs to show only the events from that channel, that's it's purpose. It's for a different scenario to the one you are proposing.
As I said, for your purpose the simplest route is to just get people to share their calendars with each other, then open them all in Outlook.
