Microsoft Teams: Adding the Vacation Tracker Calendar Tab

Pin the Vacation Tracker Calendar as a tab inside any Teams channel — your team can see who's away without leaving Microsoft Teams or signing into the dashboard.

Why Add the Calendar Tab

The Calendar tab gives every member of a channel a live view of upcoming leaves — same calendar you'd see on the dashboard, but right in Teams. Useful for teammates who don't open the dashboard often, or for teams that prefer to keep planning conversations in Teams.

Steps

1. Open Microsoft Teams.
2. Go to the team where Vacation Tracker is installed.
3. Click the + at the top of the channel page to add a new tab.
4. Search for Vacation Tracker, or pick it from the list of pre-installed apps.
5. A pop-up appears with two tab type options: Overview or Calendar. Pick Calendar.
6. Click Save.

The Calendar tab is now pinned to your channel.
