7 Planning with the Calendar

There are two options in MS Teams for calendar usage, one is for creating meetings for the team and the other is integration with Outlook which allows a team member to see their own Outlook calendar within the MS Teams application.

The Team Calendar

The first is a calendar for use by team members and this feature can be added in the Teams tab as a link at the top of the Team window.  A calendar in this area is an app which is referred to as a channel calendar because it is specifically for this team or channel.

Outlook Integration

The second option is contingent on integration with Outlook.  If the team member has an Outlook account, they can easily select Calendar on left side of the MS Teams main screen and view their Outlook calendar.  Appointments can be set within the Teams app and through integration will also appear on the user’s Outlook calendar.
