SharePoint Group Calendar web part not showing events from Teams calendar, App issue?

Hi,

 

I use the "Group calendar" web part within SharePoint with "proper" Office 365 groups with no issues.

 

I've just created a new Team and everything appeared to provision correctly.  I have a SPO site, calendar has appeared in Outlook client and I can access the calendar through OWA. 

 

When I add the "Group Calendar" web part it shows the group name but the web part just reports "There aren't any events scheduled." (before anyone asks, yes there are events in the calendar :)).  

 

In this case I created the Team via the desktop app, provisioning this way hides the group from Outlook.  I tested creating a team through the Admin console and this time the web part worked as expected, but I do get the group listed in Outlook.

 

I am guessing there must be a permission thing going on here, is there any way around this for app created Teams?

 

Thanks

Rob

    Try the following:
    Add the O365 Exchange Module in PowerShell
    Provided you have Exchange admin privileges, run the following command:
    set-unifiedgroup -identity "<group display name>" -HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled:$false

    Dear Rob-CTL,

    Thank you for rasing the issue a year ago. I was wondering it is still a valid problem. I am having trouble with it in my work, but I cannot understand whether it is because of my technical skill lacking?

    Thanks for your feedback in advance

    Best,

      DrCoymak We're having a similar issue. It seems related to the M365 group/Team in our case. We renamed the Team and group, and now the calendar is not syncing, even in Outlook and OWA

    Same issue here.  I add the web part and it shows no events.  If I click the link in the web part it opens the calendar which shows the upcoming events.  I'm wondering if it has to do with how the events are created?  I thought maybe I was putting them in my personal calendar instead of the group/teams calendar so they weren't coming in but I tried creating new events in the group calendar specifically and event tried in 365 after following the link to the group calendar in the web part and still...no dice

        Hi! How far back forward are the events. I know there is a limitation on the webpart that it’s only showing events some month ahead
