Creating a Shared Calendar in Microsoft Teams
This is a tutorial on how to create a Shared Team calendar in Microsoft Teams. Of lately My manager was trying to have a shared calendar to keep track of the Work from Home(WFH) and Out of Office(OOO) requests within the team. The manager came up with an idea to create a new calendar under the Manager’s Office 365 mail account and share it with the team as well as the leadership. This approach will use the Manager’s mailbox memory and there won't be an easy transfer if the manager plans to leave the company. Also, the Manager has to keep providing access to every new member who joins the team.
I saw this as an opportunity for a new idea. We already had a Team in MS teams. Whenever a new team space is created in MS Teams, There is a new space created in the Organization’s SharePoint Site for the team’s usage. This Site is used to store all the media files transferred within the MS team chat window. So I came up with the idea of creating a shared calendar in this SharePoint Site and keep this as a Tab in the MS Team’s site
Following is the step by step guide, How to create the Calendar starting from creating the Team
