Five Steps, One Calendar per Team

A coach or club lead keeps the calendar in Virto Shared Calendar, in Microsoft Teams or in a browser, and everyone else reads it from a link. The screens show a school robotics team with four sub-teams, on a demo calendar in our own tenant.

Step 1 · Plan

The whole season in one month

A colour per sub-team

Each event is given a category, and the category gives it its colour: Build, Programming, Drive team, Outreach, Competition and Whole team.

A weekly practice is one entry

The build session repeats every Monday and Wednesday as one recurring event, so the whole series counts once against the free plan's 15 entries per calendar. The calendar in these screens holds 8 entries.

Virto Shared Calendar, month view of the Robotics Team (demo) calendar from 1 November to 12 December: Build session at 3:30 PM every Monday and Wednesday in light blue, Programming lab at 4:00 PM every Tuesday in green, Team meeting at 3:30 PM every other Friday and Parent info night on Thursday the 12th in dark grey, Driver practice at 10:00 AM on Saturday the 7th and the 14th in blue, Bake sale fundraiser on the 14th and Demo for 5th graders on the 19th in purple, Regional qualifier on Saturday the 21st in dark red, and US holidays from a feed in pale yellow, such as Veterans Day on the 11th, Thanksgiving Day on the 26th and Black Friday on the 27th
November on the team's calendar: a colour per sub-team, the qualifier on the 21st, and US holidays from an iCal feed in pale yellow.

Step 2 · Filter

Each sub-team sees its own sessions

Categories is the filter

Tick one sub-team or several. The panel counts each category's events in the view, and Select/Unselect all brings everything back.

Holidays stay in view

Feed events count as Uncategorized, so leaving that box ticked keeps the holidays in view while a sub-team looks at its own sessions.

The same calendar with the Categories panel open: only Uncategorized (6) and Build (13) ticked, Competition, Drive team, Outreach, Programming and Whole team unticked, so the month shows the Monday and Wednesday build sessions next to the holidays, with Veterans Day above the build session on Wednesday the 11th
Only Build and the holiday feed ticked: the build lead sees that Veterans Day falls on a Wednesday session.

Step 3 · Add

School holidays from an iCal feed

Any iCal link

Paste the address of any ICS calendar: a public holiday feed, the school's own calendar if it publishes one, or an Outlook or Google calendar.

Its own colour, its own switch

The feed sits next to the team's events in the colours you pick, and the Show switch hides it without removing it.

Virto Shared Calendar, Edit calendar, External calendars tab: an iCal source named US holidays with a pale yellow background and dark brown text, its calendar.google.com address and the Show switch turned on
The holiday feed, added by its iCal link and given its own colours.

Step 4 · Share

A view-only link for parents

View or edit

A link either lets people view all details or lets them edit. Families get the view link; the parent who runs the bake sale can get an edit link.

Unpublish ends it

One click turns the link off, for example when the season is over.

Virto Shared Calendar, Edit calendar, Sharings tab after publishing: Users can view events, the calendar's teams-calendar.app link, and the buttons Copy URL and Unpublish
The published link: anyone who has it can view the team's events.

Step 5 · Check

Saturday on a parent's phone

No Microsoft account

The link opens in any browser, on a phone or a laptop. There is nothing to install and nothing to sign in to.

Day, week or month

Readers switch the view themselves; on a phone the day view is the easiest to read.

The view-only link opened in a phone browser, Day view of Saturday 14 November in the Robotics Team (demo) calendar: Bake sale fundraiser from 8:00 AM in purple and Driver practice from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM in blue, under the legend Robotics Team (demo) and US holidays
The view link on a phone, with no sign-in: Saturday's bake sale and driver practice.

Key benefits

Free while the calendar is small

The free plan allows up to 15 entries in each calendar, and a weekly practice counts once. Viewers never need a licence; when a calendar grows past 15 entries, only the people who create and edit events need one.

Parents need no account

A view-only link opens in any browser, on a phone or a laptop, with no Microsoft account and nothing to install.

Coaches edit, everyone else reads

Owners and members change events. A calendar is private or visible to the whole school, as you set it.

A tab in the team's channel

A coach adds Virto Shared Calendar to the club's channel in Microsoft Teams without an admin, unless IT has restricted third-party apps.

One calendar for two schools

Share a calendar with another organization's Microsoft 365 tenant for a joint team or a league.

Where the events live

Virto Shared Calendar keeps its calendars on Microsoft Azure, run by VirtoSoftware, not in your SharePoint. If events must stay in your own tenant, Virto Calendar App reads them from your SharePoint lists and Outlook calendars.

What a club calendar needs, and what does it

Real-life scenario
Best fit
Why it works
Practices, games and fundraisers for one club or team

A coach keeps the season in a spreadsheet and posts every change in a group chat.

One calendar per club or team, a colour per sub-team and weekly practices as recurring events, opened in Microsoft Teams or in a browser.

Parents, players and volunteers outside the school's Microsoft 365

Families use personal email addresses and their phones.

Publish a view-only link. It opens in any browser with no Microsoft account and no app to install.

School holidays next to practice

Add the holiday calendar's iCal link to the view, and a closure on a practice day shows on the same grid.

A joint team with another school

Students from a neighbouring school, on its own Microsoft 365 tenant, build the robot too.

Share the calendar with the other school's tenant, and their coach adds it in Microsoft Teams next to their own apps.

Every club, the sports fixtures and the school's events in one school-wide view

The activities office already keeps events in SharePoint lists and Outlook calendars.

Virto Shared Calendar keeps its own events and reads iCal feeds; it does not open SharePoint lists or Outlook calendars. Overlaying those in one view is what Virto Calendar App does.

Sign-ups, fees and reminders to families
A registration or team-management app

Virto Shared Calendar shows the schedule. It takes no sign-ups or payments and sends no reminders; those stay in the registration or team-management app the club already uses.
