Teams Channel Calendar in a Private Channel?
I found the answer and it is not possible since private channels don’t have a group mailbox.

1. Create the calendar in the sharepoint page behind your Teams channel. (Settings cog, add an app, calendar)
2. Copy the URL for the calendar.
3. In the private teams channel, add an app. Choose Website. Paste URL.
Hi,
Your step 3 please can you say where is the ability to "Choose Website" as I can't seem to see itDon't worry, I was looking in Sharepoint, not in Team app, now all's working, thanks for your information about this
- I know this is an old thread, but wondering if the fact that I don't have "calendar" available when trying to add an app to Sharepoint is due to administrative lockdown settings, or if these steps have since changed/stopped being supported by Microsoft. I have. very few apps available in the default view, and there's no native Microsoft calendar in the Sharepoint Store when I search.
- hi, got any answers to your question?
Are you ensuring that you are in the classic view?
I'm not sure what point you were at when trying to add the app but I know that I need to be in the classic experience before I see the normal old sharepoint apps we have available.
fl4gr4nt this did the trick, thanks!
My pleasure, happy to assist :).
fl4gr4nt I have tried what you suggested. I have a Calendar in the general tab on the Team and I have tried adding an app (Website) to the private channel with the link to the calendar. Does not work... it won't open on the Teams app, sendm
When you say you created a calendar in the general tab, did you create it as a channel calendar? If you did, that is only applicable to that specific channel. i.e., General.
You would want to go to your private channel that you want a calendar in, then in the options Open in Sharepoint.
After you get there you would create a Calendar using the classic apps by navigating to classic sharepoint. I think there are steps for all that in previous posts here.
Once you have the calendar created, you can then link it as a "Website" link to your private teams channel that you would like it in.
I do not like "channel calendars" (referring to the teams app) as anything put into them adds the same event to your outlook calendar...which can make for a busy calendar.
fl4gr4nt the site for the private channel does not have the ability to add the Calendar (app)... how to add?
- Alas, it no longer looks possible to do it the way it was before. I'd likely just create a new private teams group with the only members being the ones you wanted in the private channel. Then create the calendar using apps in the classic view within sharepoint for that group.
