why do this sharepoint calendar workaround when the team already has an existing calendar?

@Kevin Hi, I watched the video around 3 months ago and created a Sharepoint calendar for my team, which everyone loves the notifications. I am trying to set up another team, and I can't find the app anymore!!! Instead, there is a team calendar that can be set for team meetings. Its function is different from how I utilized the Sharepoint calendar. Is the Sharepoint calendar still available? If so, will you drop me a note about how to access that? Much appreciated.

Thanks Kevin. The UX is kind of clunky as this displays the old experience UI. I tried pasting into teams the nicer 'events' view you get in sharepoint, but then the 'Add Event' button does not show up. Thoughts?

I had been trying to figure this out for awhile, and this was the first CLEAR tutorial I found. This was so helpful, thank you!
I can see this being extremely useful in many situations. A cherry on top would be to also have a Planner tab on Teams and have the three pieces (Planner, Outlook and Teams) fully synchronized.

AGREED!
Short yet straightforward, detailed explanation. Thank you so much, I really needed this function from teams!
THANK YOU! These instruction were PERFECT and took me less than 5 minutes to set up for my team.
I have no idea how integrating a shared calendar wasn't one of the first things integrated into the teams platform. Still baffles me.

It’s there now, but bizarrely they omitted the month view. Facepalm!

Agreed. I hate work from home 🤦🏾♀️and Ms teams 😩😩
Wow!!! Thank you very much for this tip. The more I watch your videos, the more interesting the Office universe becomes. It's incredible how much easier life gets with these amazing tools, you're definitely helping a lot, thanks again 😊😊
Love all your MS Teams videos, Kevin. They are so quick and easy and informative. Keep them up.
Thank you Kevin. Both my colleague and myself have been wanting to have a shared calendar for Teams and now finally, thanks to you, we can do it. Keep up the great work.
This was extremely helpful and so easy to understand! Excellent explanation, I can't thank you enough!
Another excellent tutorial from Kevin. This way of setting up a shared calendar with Office 365 seems more user friendly and manageable than with a shared mailbox.
Thank you!! I easily setup my Class Calendar before my Virtual Open House. Thank you again Kevin for your amazing expertise!!!
Great video Kevin, good to see more useful uses of SharePoint in Microsoft Teams 👍
simple, starigh to the point, gets the job done .. Thank you, Thannk You !!
Great video! THANK YOU for making a Teams rookie look like a pro!
Perfect! Thank you for putting this together !!!! Thank you again!
Thanks Kevin, just saved me a lot of effort as I needed to set up a calendar for a project team
This was great! Thank you! So easy to follow! I tried someone else's tutorial before yours and I was so confused and hit a glitch without an ability to ask that content creator for help.
You create wonderful and useful videos, don't stop doing them please. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for this. The other solutions I had found were unnecessarily convoluted but your video cleared everything up for me!
This is awesome. I was going crazy trying to figure it out. I follow your instructions and I did it!!! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the easy to follow instructions!
I stumbled on this video and have now set up a site calendar for my work. Thank you!
What a simple and quick help, thanks so much!
This was a very helpful video! Thank you for your help with this Kevin.
Excellent Instructions. Very clear and direct to the point. Well done
Awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing and for your work!
You are Amazing Kevin. Thank You!
Excellent tutorial. Followed step-by-step. Thanks!
Seems complicated but I actually added a team calendar and added it to my Outlook. Thank you! (and it's a monthly view - yay!!)
This was perfect and exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!!
This was EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you!
Loving MS365 more and more Thanks kevin
AWESOMEEEEE video! Thanks a lot, Kevin!
Great video, really easy to follow step-by-step, thank you.
Thank you for taking time to make this video - greatly appreciate. Could you post how to create a step-by-step organization chart in MS Teams? Thank you in advance.
Excellent! I added a calendar via Planner. This is so much better.
OK. I love your videos and the useful tips you provide. However, not this one. Being a SharePoint consultant and developer for almost 20 years now, I can promise you that this is not what most people want - and it's been exasperatingly frustrating. No one wants to manage 3-4 calendars, or worse, do double data entry. What people want is a calendar singular data source. The new SharePoint web part for group events is great with the exception of a calendar format. The list format is nice to have as an additional view, but it just doesn't cut it on its own. Additionally, for a "vacation" calendar or similar use case, admins and site admins want to be able to add in team members' OUTLOOK calendar in an overlay format so that if things change, or your need reminders, the SharePoint/Teams calendar is always up-to-date without any additional administration. There are several web part vendors who have had web parts for this for years, but they don't work with Modern SharePoint. Microsoft should just make this part of the software instead of kludging it together like this. I know you don't control the SharePoint team, but maybe you can have some input that's heard - unlike the users out here in the real world. Sorry for the rant, but this has been a sore spot for years.

What would you recommend instead of this? We want to create a calender accessible in Outlook but not shared/owned by a specific person.

indeed, the calendar option in 365 are confusing. Do I create a shared mailbox, a SharePoint calendar or even use Planners scheduled view? Worst par about it is that Teams creates the shared mailbox already, but the mailbox and calendar are hidden. SharePoint calendars don't allow you to set reminders, you have to sync it to outlook and then add your own reminders. If you just want to show a calendar in that view, then SharePoint is ok.

Yes! This is what I’m currently trying to accomplish. A master calendar with different views to manage all time sensitive data with tabs across the top to change or stack views depending on what type of data you wanna to look at. You could even use it as a task tracker by assigning events to a specific person. Where is this?!?!?!
This was so helpful Kevin! Thanks! Is there a way to color code the events you put on the Shared Calendar or does the color coding come from the Outlook piece?
Thank you that was very easy to follow, job done!
Kevin does the calendar you displayed in the store still exist today? If so what is the new the app store seems updated and different than you demonstrated in your example? Thx
I don't see the calendar app.
Perfection personified 👏🏽
This was super helpful! Thank you!
Good, Kevin. I can imagine how this option will help people.
You've help solve a big problem for us! Thank you!

thanks - this was a SUPER tool!
Another great video.
Excellent - Thank you!
Thanks Kevin. The planning and scheduling of my courses and lectures just got better and easier. Is there a way to make the calendar read only for everyone except for the creator?

You are amazing! Thank you so much!
This worked great for members using Windows but I can't seem to connect it to outlook (i'm using a macbook). The "connect to outlook" is greyed out for me even though i set up the calendar. I wonder if you may have some ideas to get around this?
Kevin is my Teams/SharePoint hero...repeat! This is the best of 2021 and its only day 4 and I am 6 months late watching it.
Great and informative video! Much better method than the Channel Calendar app in Teams, as far as I can tell. Thank you very much!
Excellent, this is exactly what I was looking for
Thank you Kevin.
Great tutorial
Thanks for making my request :)
Great tutorial, thanks Kevin!
Great video! Tks!
Thanks so much for all your help :)
Excellent! And I was thinking of sharing a calendar using Microsoft Visio: your idea is much more elegant and practical :-) Congratulations on the didactics.
Can I prevent students from adding events to the calendar?
This worked! Thank you!
Wonderful
I was trying to do this the other day! Thank you
Thank you so much, you make me look great at work :)
Thank you, it helped me a lot.
This is great! Thank you! I see this is to the main Team, any idea if we can add it to just Channels under the Team, or does it have to be for the whole Team?
Thanks Kevin 😊
Cool, thanks.
amazing video !! exactly what i was looking for, thanks so much. every single page on the Microsoft support page was useless
Thank you so much... 😇
Great video
Thank you Kevin. This worked for mw within minutes
Thank you! Very helpful
Thanks Kevin for the great video! Just one quick question: I did all the steps and it worked just perfectly. However, when I create a personal appointment, the time in share point varies from Microsoft teams. The time zone is similar in both pages. How to solve the problem? Thanks in advance 😊
great video - straight to the point - thanks
OMG your videos have helped me so much.
Thank you so much!!!
Hi Kevin. Great video as usual. Is there a way to create a calendar for a meeting room that auto populates a booking time when you create a Teams meeting and select the room as a location?
Love your presentations thank you. Do you have a video on how to create a cartoon or animated video for either elearning or presentation please keep up the great work. Please stay safe and healthy 😊
Nice
Thank you!!
Thank you & greetings from Sri Lanka! Excellent series of Video tutorials with easy to follow instructions. Can you pl explain the advantage of creating a team calendar when already there is one on the left side panel. What is the difference between the two?
very useful ...thansk kevin.
Hi Kevin, I really value all your videos. It helps me a lot with my work! I found one issue with the shared calendar so maybe you will be able to advise me. I would like to use this shared calendar for setting the meetings but when I invite people directly from this calendar I don't see who approved and who declined. Also when I change the timing, nobody gets information about this change. Can you advise how to manage meetings from shared calendar?
Awesome sauce!
Such an help, thank you so much
That was great!!! Thank you 🎉😢
