Teams Calendars Not Generating Automatically?

Question

Teams Calendars Not Generating Automatically?

Anonymous

Hi. Some of my Microsoft Teams have a group calendar that I can see in Outlook. They were automatically generated when the Team was created across over number of years and different types of Teams (classes, PLCs, Staff Teams, Other). Why is this not the behavior for ALL Teams and is there a way to set this to be the behavior? Creating a calendar in my personal Outlook to then share to my Team means that I am the owner of the calendar (or anyone who does this). If I were to leave my organization, that calendar would become inaccessible to others when my account is deactivated. This is the exact reason we were encouraging our staff to use a Teams generated calendar to ensure continued access regardless of staffing changes (which we've had numerous issues with in the past).

Please advise.

Dear Kristen DiGregorio,

Based on my testing, the result is as sam as that of yours, my test team does not have a group calendar generated automatically that can show in Outlook. Seems it's Teams feature change if this can be achieve before.

We do understand your concern about this feature that how it helps you to improve your efficiency in such daily busy work schedule but as it is related with Teams product design, so it is suggested to submit your valuable feedback directly to Microsoft product development team by either go to Help from your dedicated App > submit Feedback or by posting on Ideas · Community (microsoft.com) . This is require because as we are from community team, we can only assist you to troubleshoot the query and providing you required information for feature’s availability status.

This community team and Microsoft product development team are separate. So for feature’s suggestion or by design query, user need to submit feedback from their side to Microsoft product team. Once user send feedback via above mentioned way, it’s sent to Microsoft directly and it's routed to the relevant product teams who can review it.

To check more details about how to submit feedback, kindly refer this article Learn about how to provide feedback to Microsoft - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn.

I will update here if I get any additional information on this feature.

Thanks for your precious time and your understanding would be highly appreciated. Have a nice day

Dear Kristen DiGregorio,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you.

For this issue, I did some test from my side. I have created a test team, but currently there is no group calendar generated to sync to my Outlook, I may need to take some time to check whether it's replication time or Teams known issue, I would let you know when I get any updated information.

Your patience, understanding and cooperation are much appreciated.

Sincerely,
