Use same date and time format as in my computer's settings
Many people like to use English as their display language, but get confused with the US date format: 11/06 is October 6 in the US, but June 11 in many other countries. Why not display the date according to the setting in Windows?
Same goes for time, of course, where many use 24 hour format instead of am and pm.

I also use the ISO 8601 format like Luciano. I agree, it does not look nice but it is at least better than binding it to the language.

The date format seems weird. I use the ISO format for short dates (YYYY-MM-DD), so Teams cuts it off to MM-DD -- and while this is *technically* correct, it looks strange without the year. It would honestly be better if Teams just lets us set the format within the app itself.

I have it now with the update of 1.4.00.8872! The below pasted link says it's in public preview, dunno if that means a limited number of users have it.

Regional settings are so confusing and disjointed in the 365 eco system. Every app has its own settings. Should be per user. Cant believe this basic functionality is still not working correctly. Can we get an update on this ALEX?

Any progress on this matter? Without this "feature" adding Channel Calendars is pretty unusable outside US.

In your place I would make sure this kind of thing never happens again. It looks like Microsoft doesn't know how to use their own system. And it took "only" 4 years to start working on it? And it's obviously complicated enough so that it still isn't fixed after 9 month? Looks to me like it's not the developers fault.

Best practice would be to default to the system setting, but allow an override in settings. Please help

This is the most basic of functionality to get right in any MS app. Not sure why the delay in the fix.
