Managing your time using the Microsoft Teams calendar
Microsoft Teams would not be a true collaboration solution if it were not equipped with a calendar. The calendar app is available by default on Teams and allows you to view and schedule team meetings.
The calendar with filled-in example slots is shown in Figure 2.2.1:
