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.

    To make the Teams calendar effective it's important color-coding be a feature and don't use because of this.

    Yep, I'm really missing this feature in the Teams calendar. I color code all my projects in Outlook and this makes me have to go back and forth betweens Teams and Outlook to get the overview in Outlook but joining the meetings from the Teams calendar (seems to work better that way).

    Teams calendar should compete with Outlook if you want to drive adoption. Colors, Teams shared calendars, delegates...it’s the weakest feature of Teams.

    Please add colour to the Teams calendar - I will continue to rely on my "colourful" and extremely useful Outlook calendar that is used heavily.

    Please Please PLEASE!... add color categories to the Calendar, Its a feature that helps keep me organized and calls out meeting/activities that are important in my daily work.

    I rely heavily on the category color coding to quickly determine the type of meetings on my calendar. Please add this feature

    If Microsoft can't make the Teams calendar mimic the Outlook Calendar with it's MONTH view and COLOR categories, you may as well remove it from Teams.

    For me In its current state it serves no useful purpose.

    This is seriously a feature that is critical to the calendar being useful. Please add options to color code!

    highest priority for calendar! otherwise, important meetings fade into the pale purple background of endless meetings...

    This is JUST STUPID why a small feature is not working as it should.

  • Randy Stream commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I agree with these comments 100%

    I would rank this as my highest priority of any Microsoft feature request.

  • Murphy Flynn commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Absolutely agree that we need color categories in Teams. Otherwise I will rely on my Outlook calendar most of the time.

    I really want to switch over to Calendar on Teams, but I find the lack of categories / colours a real pain as I use them when I'm doing my weekly timesheet. Looks like I'm going to have to carry on using the outlook calendar ...

  • Chris Oakleaf commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I have been using color coding in Outlook for years. I was taken by surprise when I discovered that was not included in Teams. This is a drastic oversight as I'm forced to ignore the Teams calendar until it's actually time for a meeting. Without my color coding it's essentially useless.
