Teams – New calendar experience

A new calendar experience is coming to Teams.

The new calendar experience is providing you the same calendar experience as with Outlook.

The deployment has been started for Targeted Release with completion expected by end of November.

General availability is expected to start mid-January 2025 with completion date set to end of January.

With this new experience you will be able to have the same functionalities as with Outlook, such as display multiple calendar.

In more details, here are some of the improved calendar capabilities:

  • Advanced calendar surface features: A new command bar has been introduced in Teams, which adapts to the user experience by right-aligning primary actions and tucking in all the functionalities.
  • Enhanced meeting creation: Create meetings quickly from the calendar’s quick view or the new scheduling form, with improved options and a refreshed look.
  • Peak view experience: Access meeting artifacts directly from the calendar, including a recap of completed meetings.
  • Weather integration: View weather information for your current location in the calendar.
  • Work plan integration: Specify work locations and check for teammates’ availability in the office with the integration of Microsoft Places.
  • Place Finder: Use Place Finder to switch between floors and view different room capabilities when creating new events.
  • Pop-out experience: Right-click the Calendar icon to pop out the calendar for more efficient multitasking.

To enjoy this new experience, locate the ‘View more apps’ (the ellipsis on top of the + sign) to find Calendar (new)
