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.

    Please allow colors to be assigned to meetings and events in the Microsoft Teams Calendar as I need to handle 32 branch office worldwide and use it for clustering.

  • Joshua Barker commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please allow colors to be assigned to meetings and events in the Microsoft Teams Calendar as we use a single calendar for multiple teams that work closely together and being able to color code entries by team makes it very easy to see which team the event is for.

    Or, maybe another idea would be an ability to define a list of teams, each with their own unique color, that you can optionally select when creating new calendar events in MS Teams.

    Yes please add this. I use these in Outlook and it would SO helpful if they worked in Teams too.

    +1 I make systematic use of colors in my calendar, please add this feature to Teams' calendar.

  • Britta commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    +1 teams would be much better with appointments that could be visible in different colours in the calendar. I use colours in outlook to signal to my manager what is scheduled but interruptable time, and what is client/uninterruptable appointment time. In Teams when I forward plan work, it looks like he cannot interrrupt me ever, or I have to seem like I do 0 work by keeping the calendar empty and not do forward planning ! I would like to use teams as my main calendar, and not have to reference other calendars

    It is clearly extremely usefull to have this visual management in order to manage all kind of activities quickly

    Very useful to have visual management of various customer meetings/projects by colour

  • Matthias commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I agree! This simple feature would be so helpful! Plesase send me an emal, as soon it will be possible.

  • Christina Blixt commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Would be extremely useful. So many are working in different projects and need to be able to see an overall picture of their time.

    Thank you Microsoft for putting together such a great combination of apps into one tool. Unfortunately I have missed 3 meetings because I couldn't see my appointments in the calendar. I have difficulty focusing on the page, and it all blurs together with my therapy sessions. Please add color, at least "Red", so I can make my meetings stand out. Please help : -) Thank you again for this useful tool!
