    Let me sum up this thread for people just joining now. If the calendar app is missing from the left of Teams there are two possible reasons

     

    1. (Most Likely) - Teams can not find or access your calendar. It will only access a calendar from the exchange mailbox associated with the users account, if you don't have one, then no calendar. Also if you use Exchange hosted on-premises you will need to have hybrid configured to allow Teams to access that mailbox.

    2. (Less Likely) - Someone removed Calendar in an app setup policy assigned to that user. This will hide it from the left menu but it will still be there if you press the ... Menu at the bottom.

My guess is that it has something to do with the licences assigned to the account.  In my case I assigned a O365 A1 Plus for faculty at user creation, BUT only had the Teams app selected as part of that license assignment.  In this case, when I logged into Teams with that account no calendar.  I then went in after account creation and assigned the Exchange Online Plan 1 app and waited for a bit. I then logged into Teams with the user account and the calendar was there.  I then unassigned the Exchange Online Plan 1 app, logged out, then back in, and the calendar was still there (at least so far).  If it seems to take forever for the calendar to appear once the Exchange license has been assigned try to login to a Teams client with that account on a client that has already shown it has had the calendar appear.  Basically, I just messed around with the assigned licenses a lot.  Hope this helps.JonasB1925

Well, now it seems obvious that you have to have an Exchange app assigned to a user for the calendar to appear in Teams. Not sure if that is what's going on in your case, but now that I've pulled the Exchange app from the user I get a "your Exchange calendar isn't set up" message in Teams where the calendar is supposed to be. So you have the Exchange app assigned to the user for the calendar in Teams to work.

    Could you please explain "you have to have an Exchange app assigned to a user"?

    Where and how this can be assigned?

      EgilsJakovels Make sure that you have it assigned in the app list for the affected user account on Office 365 Admin > users (Check the affected user's account)

        This works for me, it will just take 30 minutes or more to take effect.

        You should sign out your MS Teams first.
