The SharePoint team is excited to announce the new Group calendar web part! This web part will be added to the toolbox when creating team news articles and modern pages. We are rolling out to First Release customers now!
What are modern pages you ask?
“Modern team site pages are fast, easy to author and support rich multimedia content. And pages look great on any device, in a browser or from within the SharePoint app. Using pages is a great way to communicate and share your ideas—such as status and trip reports, how-to write-ups, know-before-you-go guides and frequently asked questions.” - from our blog post last year.
Group calendar
The Group calendar web part allows you to easily view the calendar of an existing modern group on a page. Just select the group you’d like to link, select the number of calendar events per page you’d like to show, and the web part will automatically populate the events.
Easily switch between past and upcoming events, get more details about a specific event, and even download the event to add to your calendar.
In the future, we will be listening to customer feedback and adding features! See our support documentation here.

Events with specific times are now showing in the correct time zone, but we're still seeing all day events marked as beginning at 7:00pm of the day prior and ending 7:00pm on the day of.
Any chance those events could just display as "All Day?"

Same for me. Specific times are now displaying correctly but all day are at 19:00 (or 7:00 pm).
This makes no sense because I am on the eastern time zone (GMT -5) and I don't understand how the usual 3 hours difference become 5.
@Alyssa Danesh I am available to help if required.

At first this web part was showing on all our site pages, Group and Communication. Now it's only showing on group pages and I need to put it on a Communication Site, What happened??

Hello!
I'm still having issues with events displaying accurately on our Group Calendar web part. As shown below, we have several all day events that either occur on one day or span several days.
However, in the Group Calendar web part on our Group Sharepoint site, the two one day events on Friday are showing up on Thursday, and the multi-day events are showing up as starting and ending at 7:00PM on their start and end days.
Shown below are my Regional Settings. I tried playing around and setting our timezone to GMT (+0), and while that made the one-day events show up on the right day (Friday), the multi-day events then appeared to start at 12:00AM the FOLLOWING day (as shown below)...
What's more, events that are scheduled in time (i.e. not all-day events) will show up 5 hours later when using GMT. It seems as though we can either have all day events showing on the right day OR have in time events showing at the right time.
Is there a fix for this? Unfortunately, it's confusing our users...
Thanks!
Brad

Yeah, it's working perfect using selective first release without having the whole tenant in FR. Thanks!
Another issue just surfaced. I have my timezone set to GMT+1, hopefully everywhere. However, the calendar entries I create in the group calendar is not shown with correct time in the web part. Is there anywhere else I need to change time zone?

It defaults groups to a different timezone (usually UTC) for every group we make.

We are experiencing some caching problems with the new Group calendar web part on modern team site pages.
Our users have reported that events have the wrong time on the web part, or that the first event shown is a past event. One incident has been that the first event shown in the web part has the wrong time on the web part, while the event itself has got the right time when you click on it.
We have asked our users to do a hard refresh (Ctrl + F5 on windows) or click on the “Sync calendar” button on the web part but this is inconvenient for our users since they have to do this every day.
Has Microsoft experienced the same problem or do they have a solution for this problem?
