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.

    If Teams is itended to be the main HUB of colaboration and team work, the COLOR CODED categories in TEAMS Calendar is a very useful feature to avoid jumping back and forward between Outlook and Teams . . .

    The use of categories is very useful, so is very important fix the way to transfer this and all the others details on the outlook calendar to teams calendar or the published web calendar.

    Yes! Teams Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Microsoft 365 Calendar, and Outlook on Android and IOS should ALL basically be the same thing. Same look. Same functionality.

    AGREED!!! I feel the same for file folders (ala Apple) - but lets focus on the Teams Calendar for now! When will that feature be ready? :)

    Absolutely - great great loss from migrating from Outlook to Teams...needs to be fixed.

    I second Mike Parker's request, I also use and relay on Outlook Categories to help prioritize my Calendar,.

    Color or further visual tags etc would be huge for calendar users, I really like the Teams calendar for managing my access to meetings- but use categories heavily for org and visual deciders.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, we need a method to categorize certain items on our calendar (color code would be best)

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Color makes things more manageable. I would really like to see that. Thanks for your consideration!

  • Glenn Kindel commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I would like ALL Outlook features to be available in Teams, but Color is definitely one that's needed if you are not going to give us everything.

  • Keith Eggeman commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is absolutely essential. I invested a lot of time setting up colors for Outlook meetings, and it is surprising that colors do not show up in Teams. There is an opportunity for Microsoft to better understand how its customers use their tools, particularly in the context of migrating a feature (e.g., calendaring) from one application to another.

    Really hope this Outlook feature gets carried over SOON to Teams. We rely on this heavily at our corporate office of 45k employees.
