How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Colour categories in Calendar

It would be really useful for the Outlook colour categories to show in the Teams calendar. I rely heavily on these to make sense of my calendar with a large number of appointments and in the current release of calendar this will make me likely to still revert back to Outlook rather than use Teams for calendar management.

    We need outlook color Categories ASAP. It is tough to switch to MS Teams 100% without this feature from the current outlook.

    Agree with all. Teams has been around long enough for these basic features to have been resolved by now...

    Wow. I thought I just needed to learn how to color code things. Didn't realize it wasn't even an available option.

    This needs to be fixed ASAP. Most of us use color-coding in some way to organize our meetings and workflow.

    Please allow this, I love purple, but even I agree this is too much.. Everything runs together.

    Agree - this is a top concern of mine as well. We need the ability to color code and/or use colored categories in Teams.

  • Jane Knox commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I need colors to distinguish calendar event categories too! Please consider adding this feature.

    I will not fully transition to Teams until I have the ability to color code my calendar events. This is a critical feature for my productivity.

    It would be great if Outlook and Teams were integrated enough to share the same color coding scheme. I often use the color coding to prioritize meetings.

    Just moving towards using Teams and I see the calendar function is not the same as in Outlook. We heavily rely on the color coded Categories to distinguish different types of meetings and appointments. Please pull the category information from Outlook calendars to Teams please!

    100% Agree, Having catagory visibilty is a great tool and would make Teams even better if it could be mirrored from Outlook or simply available as an option within Teams.

  • Raghav Y commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, the Color coding on calendars is very helpful because it gives a picture of what are must-attends on that day, in just a second of viewing the calendar. This is a basic efficiency booster that exists in Calendar but not in Teams. Please enable!

    Having colour coding for calendar appointments in Teams would mean I wouldn't need to keep the Outlook calendar open all the time.

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE add color coding capability to Microsoft Teams Calendar. I heavily relied on color coding within Outlook.
