Question

What is this solid green bar on the right-hand side of a Teams calendar event?

aiugu 0

I have noticed this event is the only one in my calendar displaying a solid green bar on the right-hand side. It is a series of events I have set up for myself as a reminder. I've marked myself as 'Free' during these; this isn't the only series of events I have in my calendar during which I am 'Free, but it is the only event in my calendar that has a solid green bar. I can't find any information within the event as to what that might mean. Photo attached.

Since today I have a similar icon in my calendar: User's image

Only one of my (recurring) meetings is showing it. I looked in the browser inspector to see if the HTML classes provide any details as to what it indicates, but the grey and green bars are in a div with class "brRhL" and each bar is a little div with class "xXlYc" and a background-color, that's it. So that's not very helpful either.They are not an indicator for the number of people in the meeting, because there are ~15 invitees. It's an online meeting, no room has been booked. It's not a new meeting; this recurring meeting has been there for months, and this icon appeared today. It wasn't there yesterday.A colleague of mine is also seeing it on only one meeting. But he doesn't see it on the meeting where I see it, even though he is in the same meeting. This is what he sees, in a meeting with 2 people.
User's image I'm using the Teams web app in the latest Chrome browser (v151) on Windows 11. My colleague is using the Teams app on Windows 11. We are in an enterprise environment, if that makes any difference.

And to answer @Anonymous 's questions:

I see it both in Teams and Outlook. Both web, I don't use the apps. As stated above, my colleague that sees the red bar is using the app.

I scheduled a meeting on last Wednesday, and also on today. In both meetings invited someone else as well. Both are not showing the icons.

They are not my own meetings, I don't know. The green bar has not changed position over the last 2 days. It doesn't have a tooltip.

Hi @aiugu

I tried to reproduce the situation you described on my end, but I was unable to do so. This does appear to be an unusual case.

To better understand what may be happening, could you please help clarify the following?

Do you see the same behavior in Microsoft Teams on the web? Also, does the same behavior occur when viewing the event in the Outlook calendar?
If you create a new event on the same day, does the same behavior occur with the newly created event?
If you edit the event, such as changing the Show As status or updating any other event property, does the bar disappear afterward?

If I’ve misunderstood any part of your situation, or if you have further questions or updates, please don’t hesitate to reply.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
