What's the best way to display company calendars in SPO?
We want some calendars on SharePoint to display Holidays and Employee PTO (among other things). I keep hitting a wall with old Sharepoint instructions. (This should be stupid easy!) Do I need ...
Looking to your message i understand two things... but both are just as assumption;
if you are looking to just show the Company calendar with two specific categories i would suggest going the route of creating a SharePoint Calendar App (kind of Classic Calendar) setup Views and overlay so you have two different color codes and you can even setup uniqueness and can play with permission from the setting section for that specific Calendar list.
you can Also try to use the new Microsoft List in Teams, create a new lists and name it while in the view section try to select the calendar view (it is not the channel calendar app) this is a Sharepoint list which has Calendar view now but will not be able to color code like overlays.
the third option you have could try Microsoft Booking i know it is only for meeting booking but seems from your message you need end users to book as well...
though with above 2 options you could use the same but booking is totally a different beast to give a try....

- Just focusing on holidays, for the moment... I've continued to mess around with the calendar app and lists. I might be able to make this work but I've hit a wall with setting an event as reoccurring.
When viewed as a list, I don't see a function to set an item as reoccurring. When I use the Event web part on the SPO site, reoccurring events don't appear. Also, the 'create new event' form doesn't offer reoccurrence.
So, if I were to just go through and manually enter all the holidays, etc. I'd be in good shape. I do not want to do that.
