Teams Group Calendar no longer loading
We had a group calendar set up in a channel using a website tab linking to https://outlook.office365.com/owa/?path=/group/channelname@domain.com/calendar.
This has been working perfectly until the last few days. Now when we go to that tab it only loads our personal outlook calendar. Has anyone else had this issue? Have you found out how to bring the group calendar back?
(a bit more information:
There is no group calendar bubble in the left pane to check or uncheck.
I can no longer import channel calendars from the directory to force a bubble there.
It is the same both on the app and on the web browser.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
- Yeah, What probably happened is that you went over to the new outlook experience! There was a toggle to try the preview up in the right corner, try see if you can toogle back to the old version! Might not be possible though because this became the standard interface not long ago! So it’s possible you got it by default now!
This new outlook won’t let you see any group calendar like before! For example if you add the group calendar web part on a sharepoint site and add this to teams or just click the link you will be taken to your personal calendar! Before you got both! What you can do is to add the group so it’s visible in outlook! This way you can show the calendar anytime from outlook!
By default groups don’t show in outlook if they were created from Teams! But you can run a powershell command to make them visible:
1: Connect to exchange powershell module
2: set-unifiedgroup -identity “group” -hiddenfromexchangeclientsenabled: $False

- Ok, this format loads the calendar, but the way the new one works, it is an overlay method, so you can't technically uncheck yours by default but it will check and overlay the group calendar into the view.....
Not what you want, but might be the only thing you can do anymore: https://outlook.office365.com/calendar/group/'domain.com'/'groupname'/view/month- This URL format worked for me. I just edited the format in the Teams and set to monthly view.
- Yeah, the new Outlook Web access is your cultprit, they forced the new UI and it's breaking everyone that used this method. I haven't figured out or spent any time seeing if there is a way to deep link into the shared calendars similar to how you could on the old OWA App.

Adamadam deltingerThank you so much for your reply!
Unfortunately there is not a toggle for me to get back to the old version.
I have a silly question... how exactly do you connect to the exchange powershell module?
- Please read here:

Also keep in mind that by exposing the group in outlook, people can be confused and they will be able to access mails sent to the group
