Show label colors on planner calendar
The current planner calendar in teams does not show the task highlighted with the color of the label that it is assigned to. This only gives an all white calendar that is difficult to see items by type, priority, or if they are at risk. Example is attached.

I am amazed to see this request (as I was trying to find a how-to on Google) has been made so often and for so long. It is an absolute necessity to have the colour of the labels shown in the task planner in order to have overview on your tasks.
The only, and silly, workaround would be to rename the tasks showing the names of (or codes referring to) the labels. I tried it and looks like a mess.
So dear developers at Microsoft, please listen to your experienced customers and users. Especially when it comes to features, like this one, that one just can’t imagine not to be there. Again, I was truly amazed to learn that this feature is not available …

100% agree. Need the tasks in the calendar view to adopt the label colour we assign to them. We need to see at a glance what is going on in a month, week and day. At my job, we use MS 365 and I keep having to go to google because of missing feature. It sucks to chose between integration (which I would have if I were using nothing but MS apps) and productivity (ie. colour coding and other features)

MS, you continue to suck. These half built apps with rubbish entry-level issues and no governance.

Please add this feature! I migrated from Trello to Microsoft Planner because of the similarities. But I was sad to learn that there are no color labels on the calendar view. Adding this feature would make a world of a difference for content planners!

It has been 2.5 years since this basic feature was first requested... I find that rather ridiculous.

Yes, we would like to use planner as content scheduling tool. Including labels, buckets and priority on the Schedule cards is needed.

Please please ad coloured labels to schedule view AND allow to show on the outlook calendar integration, and while you're at it please allow native outlook integration instead of ical feeds, (so slow to load) in Schedule view allow for more than one task to show, email to/from board functions, multiple checklists in tasks instead of just one, assign individual checklist items, and most importantly, Start & Due TIMES on the tasks, not just dates. Am also a verteren Trello user like many others on this forum but my company has invested in O365 and I am really struggling with how little functionality & integration the MS apps allow. Light years behind.

As a veteran Trello user aiming to migrate to Planner this is a suprising shortcoming I did not expect. Thank you :)

This problem is the reason why I joined this forum.
Nothing in MS teams has bugged me as much as the option of setting labels with no effect on the calendar view.Please fix it!

Completely agree! This app would be infinitely more useful with visible label colors on the schedule.

Awful fonts and colours.
Is there a 4k mode? Fonts are too thin, colours too pale. Teams is like a college project - raw unfinished, first generation. I access it through Windows 10. Should I use a mac? It would be great to be able to change things myself to make it more user friendly and so I could use things like colours, font features to do different things, like highlight, emphasise, make something easier to see?
Oh, to be able to have more than one thing open at a time, like you know, when working. -

This! Exactly this, how is this still not a feature? Why would anyone assign a colour label that is invisible? The whole point of a colour is be able to see it and group, prioritise accordingly.
Please look into this feature, this cant be hard to implement and super useful! -

How is it possible that this has been on here for 2 years and yet still not a feature - surely it can't be this hard.....

Agree, very much needed. Please add this feature.
I would like to be able to see team member assignments in the calendar view (just the circles with initials on the task bar would be good enough).
