How to keep meetings from syncing across all calendars in the same Teams channel

Hello @Jason S

Thank you for reaching out. I understand you want to create separate, dynamic calendars for different purposes like PTO and Shift Trades within a single Teams channel. This is an excellent way to keep your team organized. 

I'd like to clarify the behavior you're experiencing. The reason all events appear on every calendar tab is due to how Teams calendars work by design. 

A single Teams channel is connected to only one underlying group calendar. When you add multiple "Channel Calendar" tabs, you are essentially creating several different views of that same, single calendar. This is why an event created in one tab appears in all of them, they are all pointing to the same source. 

To achieve the separation you're looking for, the most effective solution is to create separate Teams channels for each calendar type: 

• Create separate Teams channels (e.g., “PTO”, “Shift Trades”, “Shift Coverage”). 
• Add a Channel Calendar tab to each channel. 
• This ensures each calendar only shows events relevant to that topic. 

If creating separate channels isn’t feasible, you can still use a single calendar tab and organize events by using clear naming conventions in the event titles (e.g., “PTO – John”, “Shift Trade – Lisa ↔ Tom”). While this doesn’t fully isolate the events, it helps your team visually distinguish them.

I truly understand how important it is for your team to have clearly separated and dynamic calendars, and I regret that this limitation is part of how Microsoft Teams is currently designed. At this time, there is no built-in way to fully isolate calendar tabs within the same channel. 

That said, your use case is absolutely valid and highlights a meaningful opportunity for improvement. If you’re open to it, I kindly encourage you to submit feedback directly through the Teams app (Feedback > Suggest a feature). This allows Microsoft’s product team to better understand real-world needs like yours and consider them in future updates. 

Thank you again for sharing your experience. Please let me know if you need any further help.
