Shared Calendar isn't working

Question

Hi,

I'm the Office365 administrator for a school. The school has deployed A1 Plus licenses for Faculty to the staff.

[Edit: We're using Teams entirely online through Google Chrome for now. missed out mentioning this earlier on. ]

We're trying to make use of shared Team calendars but we're having some issues.

The calendars work when we create personal (non-channel) events from the Channel pin:

However, when we try to add events through the channel calendars, we counter an error.

The Team is private but the channels are non-private.

As faculty members, we have also have access to Outlook.com.

Is there anything I might have missed out or required to do aside from adding the Calendar App to the Team?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I suspect it could be an intermittent issue.

With that said, Thanks for reaching out to the MS community.

Kind Regards

Answer 2

Hi!

So interestingly, it worked after around 24 hours?

I guess some back-end linking had to happen and that took some time.

Thanks for reaching out!

Does the issue persist if you try from a different web browser or a different computer? Have you tried from MS Team mobile app?

If you have tried the suggestions I mentioned above, let me offer you other alternatives to add a calendar to the channel.

Option 1: Adding SharePoint calendar to Team channel:

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for initiating a response. (:

I forgot to mention that we're using Chrome entirely, not the Teams desktop app.

So the issues are appearing on the web-app.

I tried the desktop app and it has issues as well.

Adding to the personal calendar is fine.

Once it try to add to a Channel, it shows this.

Hi KWEK

My name is Daniel. I will be more than happy to assist you.

I'm wondering whether you are experiencing the same issue when using MS Teams online.

Please follow these steps below to isolate the issue:

1. Please go to your computer then open your chrome or edge browser as the only recommended browsers to access MS Teams online.
2. Please go to MS Teams online https://teams.microsoft.com
3. Then try to log in.
4. Try to add event to the calendar.

Are you experiencing the same issue when you are using MS Teams online from your computer?
