Include Office 365 group calendar in teams

It would be good to be able to click on a calendar button on the left hand side to get a view of the Office 365 groups calendar as you would in the calendar app. Good for being able to look and get a glimpse of what is coming up with the group. At the moment I have to go back to the calendar to look at it.

    3 1/2 years and over 18000 votes and still no date? Is anyone really working on this or are the MS admin (3 different admins!!!) comments meant to just calm the masses requesting a feature most consider table stakes?

    When I make a Teams meeting through Teams and someone proposes a new time in Outlook I get NO notification of that request. Even if they declined the meeting in Outlook. No notification of that. It updates in the Teams calendar but I don't know to look at it.

    would be excellent to add a SharePoint calendar as well. Adding the sharepoint calendar as a webpage is not helpful at all.

    Would this by chance include calendar search? The use case is that I'm looking for info chats, documents, notes, etc. from a previous meeting in Teams. Right now I don't see a way to do that without first going to Outlook, searching, then joining the teams meeting. Often there's files shared, and discussions that go over the meeting. This is great, but seems trapped in the meeting that is not easily searchable later on. I see that sometimes calendar items show in quick search (along with everything else) but no way to filter on just calendar items. Also, should be button in Chat to filter on 'calls' to see all meeting in that channel in one quick list. Thanks!

    UPDATE: I just realized that you can search in 'chat', filter on calendar items. This is ok, but is limited date based on "recent" items.

    I am going to post a comment everyday until we get an update. It's been 4 years. We need this.

    BEGGING teams to do this please, not efficient to look at outlook calendar and then switch back to Teams to schedule. Or just make Teams have the accessibility to see your teammates calendar. It's a basic feature that a product like this should have. Like a basic feature, come on.

    Please do this except I would request a step further. When a meeting a scheduled in a channel. I would like to be able to add a calendar tab for that channel, to see all meetings that have been scheduled against said channel.

    As with the highly-voted request for a compact Teams mode (for chat), they can't get this one done, either, despite the promises that they're "working on it". They're not working on it.

    Hi, I own a Teams/SharePoint Team that is comprised of Members (from within my organisation) and Guests (with external email addresses). Since 2010 we have used Google Calendar as a shared calendar to streamline diary management for the whole team. Although we have Outlook bundled with our corporate accounts, we don't use it because it doesn't sync with the Gmail calendar. Now our organisation has bought Teams/Sharepoint, we would like to move to Outlook and have one shared calendar for the whole team, with overlays of the individual calendars of team members. This would help us to integrate our diaries with the video meeting platform on Teams and cut down on the use of external platforms like Zoom, Whereby etc. However, moving our calendar will only be feasible if Guest members within the Sharepoint team can access the shared Outlook calendar with full functionality. Until then we will stick with Google Calendar.

    We are looking to set up a group calendar so that group members can block out a period when they intent to be in the office to ensure only one person visits the office within a 24 hour period. Please can you advise if this is possible.

    Brilliant suggestion, lots of people who now collaborate across multiple groups with our various IT groups such as DevOps, IT Ops practice with FinOps would benefit from this

    One of the highest voted suggestions for Teams still unresolved after nearly 4 years. And no progress update for five months... This must be far more difficult than we can imagine. Why don't you at least tell us what the hurdles are so we can understand the long delay?

    Adding an Office 365 group calendar to left pane was one of the first things I looked for when preparing to deploy Teams. Not having it available in the beginning was disappointing and embarrassing. As the months and years go by, confidence in Microsoft is eroding.
