Set event's calendar

Question

Set event's calendar

Luca Iovene 20

Hii,

I was creating an event inside the calendar in teams and I noticed that there is no way to specify in which calendar the event should go.

Even after the creation I cannot move the event to another calendar.

Can you please help me if I missed something?

Hello @Luca Iovene

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Community!

Thank you for letting us know about your concern. To ensure I provide the most accurate guidance, could you confirm where you intend to create the event:

From the Teams Calendar application in the left rail of Microsoft Teams
From a Channel Calendar tab inside a specific team channel
From th_e Microsoft 365 Group Calendar_ associated with your team

The creation experience and where the event is stored differ for each of the three scenarios. Please see the details below.

1) Creating an event from the Teams Calendar application

When an event is created from the Teams Calendar application, the meeting is saved to your primary Outlook calendar. The Teams Calendar currently does not provide an option to select a different calendar at creation time, nor does it allow moving a meeting to another calendar after it is created. This behavior is by design in the new Teams calendar experience, which is a Teams view of your Outlook calendar rather than a multi‑calendar authoring surface.

For more information: Get started with the new calendar in Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Support

If the ability to choose a different calendar at creation time would improve your workflow, I recommend submitting this suggestion through the Microsoft Teams Feedback portal so it can be considered for future updates. In the interim, if you need the event to reside in a calendar other than your primary Outlook calendar, please create it directly in the destination calendar in Outlook.

2) Creating an event in a Channel Calendar within a team

If a Channel Calendar tab has been added to a team channel, you can create events directly in that channel’s calendar from within Teams. Events created here are associated with the channel and are visible to channel members. This is useful for team‑ or project‑specific scheduling inside a channel context. However, Channel Calendar items do not populate each participant’s personal Outlook calendar by default; they remain scoped to the channel’s shared context.

3) Creating an event in the Microsoft 365 Group Calendar for a team

Every Microsoft Team is backed by a Microsoft 365 Group that has its own Outlook Group Calendar. If your intent is for an event to live in that shared Group Calendar, you should create the event directly from the Group Calendar in Outlook.

Feel free to let me know if there are any misunderstandings or further concerns. I am happy to clarify.

No, I'm creating the event from the teams calendar application in the left bar.

As written above I've also tried to create the event from the outlook calendar application but without result

Hello @Luca Iovene

Thank you for the clarification.

Since you are creating the event from the Teams Calendar application in the left navigation bar, the behavior you are experiencing is expected. The Teams Calendar is a direct view of your primary Outlook calendar, and it currently does not support choosing another calendar at event creation time. All events created here are always placed in your default Outlook calendar, and there is no option to redirect them to a different calendar.

Regarding your attempt to create the event from the Outlook calendar application, this is also consistent with current design. Outlook lets you create events in additional calendars you own, but if you are attempting to place the event into a Microsoft 365 Group calendar, Outlook will only allow that if you explicitly open the Group Calendar itself and create the event there. Simply creating the meeting from the main Outlook interface does not automatically map it to the Group’s calendar.

Hence, if you want the event to appear in a Microsoft 365 Group Calendar, please check if you've followed these steps:

Open the Group Calendar directly in Outlook

Create the event from inside that calendar’s view.

Feel free to let me know if there are any misunderstandings or further concerns. Moreover, a screenshot of your current calendar would be helpful in investigating the issue.

I look forward to your response.

Hello @Luca Iovene

Thank you for your kind update. I'm thrilled to hear that you can now create the event following my instructions. I appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Answer 2

In Microsoft Teams, events are typically created in the default calendar associated with your account. Unfortunately, there is currently no option to specify a different calendar for the event at the time of creation or to move an event to another calendar after it has been created. This limitation means that events will always be tied to the primary calendar linked to your Teams account.

If you need to manage events across multiple calendars, consider using the Outlook calendar integration, as it allows for more flexibility in managing events and calendars. You can create and manage events in Outlook, which can then sync with Teams.
