Teams Channel Calendar in a Private Channel?
The new channel calendars for Teams is great but it appears you cannot add one to a private channel. I know a Teams private channel is a separate SharePoint site with unique permissions, but is there a way to add a channel calendar to a private channel?
I found the answer and it is not possible since private channels don’t have a group mailbox.

- Calendar is not the only feature missing for private channels, it seems we cannot add a planner too 😞
Are those features planned ? 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?
fl4gr4nt this did the trick, thanks!
My pleasure, happy to assist :).
It appears that inside the Try New Teams version that you can create calendars in Private channels. This is good news!
MichaelC55 What is the option?

Turn on Public Preview on your Teams Client (About), then flip switcgh for New Teams
Why can't they be associated though or established differently? I know you can create one via a SharePoint list, but it doesn't actually generate the Teams meeting information so isn't very helpful except as a communication tool.
