To create an event, open the appropriate view tab, such as “Month.” Use your mouse to select the desired time period for the event (by dragging and dropping) or simply click on the day. Enter the event name, choose the calendar and category, specify the start and end dates, and location, then click “Save.” You can also make the event recurring and add additional details such as attendees, a description, and attachments.

Creating Microsoft Teams Meeting From a Calendar Event

Thu, 10 Oct 2024 09:32:24 +0000

You can create Microsoft Teams meetings directly from Virto Calendar App events. There’s no need to add Virto Calendar App as a separate tab in Microsoft Teams. Simply edit events in your Virto calendar and incorporate them into your Microsoft Teams calendar as meetings.

This feature is available for the Outlook calendar data source. Make sure your Outlook calendar supports this option.

Ensure you have Outlook (Exchange Online) selected as a data source in your Virto calendar. To do this, open the current calendar settings by clicking the calendar name.

Recurring Events

Thu, 10 Oct 2024 09:32:46 +0000

In the Virto Calendar App, you can set up recurring events when using either a SharePoint calendar or Outlook calendar as a data source.

Suppose you have a Virto calendar that incorporates Outlook events. Navigate to it and create a new event. Then, open the drop-down menu to access the options for setting up recurring events.

Use these settings to create events that recur daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. You can specify whether they will occur on a particular date or weekday. Additionally, you can set an end date or determine the events to conclude after a certain number of occurrences.
