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.

This is a very needed feature. It's sad to see that no one from Microsoft has even mentioned looking into this. This is especially needed if you have virtual meetings and live meetings both on your calendar.

Color categories are very useful and without them, I find the Teams calendar difficult to read.

On a team there are often sub-groups and having the ability to have a singular calendar where color-coding of appointments/events is crucial. Having that be standardized across multiple devices for multiple people would make collaboration much easier. The calendar is a crucial part of any organization, and even with the advent of things like Planner, visual organization is crucial for a calendar

Please can we re-introduce colour categories on calendar. I use this every day and would revert back to Outlook rather than Teams for calendar management. It also serves as a reminder where I have a clash of meetings and have asked a colleague to attend on my behalf whereby I seek update from them. Additionally colour coding prioritises everything in our team as we all use the same. Without this it is definitely a step backwards.

I use categories and colour coding in my boss' Outlook calendar so it's easy to identify a face-to-face meeting or virtual meeting. I change to the allocated category colour once rooms are booked and/or links set up.
Please consider this improvement (and it would be helpful if the information was automatically picked up from Outlook)

I also use and relay on Outlook Categories to help prioritize my Calendar. Would you be able to make it seamless to move from Outlook into Teams? It appears that you have not focused on that integration yet and it would be very helpful. You are missing both the categorization functions along with the "Missed conversation" feature that we had with Skype. If we miss a chat in Teams there is no recourse or "safety net" for us via Outlook.

we should be able to categorise calendar by color as we do in outlook otherwise its a retrograde step.

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? :)
