No Incoming email settings on my Calendar List?
Howdy,
We are looking for a way that we can have a public calendar for our company to use. We'd post company events and things for everyone to see. Since Teams doesn't support Group Calendars yet (from the last update I found) we created one in Sharepoint Online that seems to work OK. However, we've been requested to enable a way that someone could "Invite" this calendar to an event that they setup in their calendar instead of having to manually go into the calendar to create events.
I found some instructions about going into Sharepoint | Calendar | Calendar Settings and then choosing Incoming Email Settings under the Communications section. However, I don't have that option. The only thing I have under Communications is RSS.
Do I have to go enable something for that setting to show up or is that maybe not supported any more? If anyone can help, that'd be great.
Thanks!
I actually have a similar question. I'm looking forward to creating a public calendar for my company out of a list result. Unfortunately, I couldn't find some good options since we have group permissions on the list.
The only thing I found was to create a workflow that would add calendar events according to the list results but everyone part of the organization would receive calendar invites in their outlook inbox. Does anyone know a better way of doing this? Thank you!

Other things to add in here may be to create a Bot in Teams that allows people to trigger an Event Invite, approval and then posting to the Calendar. Pretty sure that would be do-able at least.
