Event List vs. Calendar "app"
What is the difference, if any, of an Event List vs adding a Calendar App to a site? We are doing a company wide calendar for key events and maybe executive PTO times. What is the best calendar to use in O365?
Thanks,
Rob.
To the best of my understanding....they are one and the same. Either way it shows up in site contents as an events list. I believe if you are adding apps to a modern site or modern site page, you shall see "event list" and when you are adding apps to classic sites and classic pages, you will see the word "calendar."
My suggestion is to deal with Modern whenever you can. I hope this helps...others please feel free to correct if I misspoke!

Yes, I'm having the same issue where you cannot make edits to a recurring event from the modern events pages etc.
So for now, you will just have to go into the back-end old school list (via site contents) and make your changes there. This is the same place you go to actually create a recurring event and the same place you go to use time increments less than 30 min.
Please let us know if this answers your question.
Hi pnthrzrule
I have a modern home page, with a seperate page for the calendar, and indeed that's an old-skool experience. In my opinion I should be able to open the events from there.
Especially as flows are working on them, and the items are being generated as per schedule. Actually everything works except opening the recurring items :(.
I logged a ticket with MS support to have them look into this.
I'll let you know the outcome here.

pnthrzrule Thanks!
I was in a Modern site and Events List was already in Contents. I hit New and selected App and among the choices was Calendar.
It seems like they might be the same thing, but then why are the called something different. Or is that adding a "legacy" style calendar?
