Month view for calendar on the page
We would like the calendar display apps (events and group calendar) to allow a "month" view. We love the events parts and like that they link to a group calendar but would love to visualize this in a month or week format

We’re actively thinking about how we can better support the desire for a great looking, responsive, wall calendar view. As we solidify our thoughts, we’ll share more.

The web format of the Microsoft 365 outlook published calendars need improving so they are responsive and work for all devices. See my webpage page showing both Google G Suite shared calendar (which is responsive) and lower down the page Microsoft 365 calendar (which is not responsive): https://www.1danceschool.com/calendar I spent a whole day searching for solutions and trying to set the iframe with zoom and similar css but there is no way to do this - Microsoft you need to fix this on your end!!!

Agree - we have several use cases where a 'month' view of events list is needed/required. Also, please modernize the overall Events application in SharePoint. Not enough options to customize + SharePoint app calendar form does not pull in any custom columns that were created in the event list.

We have recently completed migration from SharePoint 2010 to SPOL. One of the most frequent requests we received was to display the calendar on the home page as they had done previously. It is a poor user experience to only link to the calendar; folks miss it even as a quick link on the page. I know they can address via the embed web part but this is a longstanding capability and folks have become reliant upon it.
See: Embed - (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/add-calendar-to-spo-site-home-page/e9d0a199-db70-4312-a4fc-cc54ba0daba6)

Honestly, who at Microsoft/SharePoint thought it was acceptable NOT to include a Month View in the Team calendar? Please, oh, please, include the Month View.

Is there any plan to add the calendar view? It would be nice to know if we need to start looking for other solutions if MS are not planning to enable this for modern sharepoint pages.

Month view available within SharePoint site.
Month view and calendar web part mobile friendly.
Change calendar overlay color options to be color-blind friendly and also more different from each other (dark green and light green are very similar)
Ability to "add to calendar" when posting pages to sites or uploading a file to a document library.

Yes, I agree this would be an added feature. Planning vacations and doing long range planning in the offices as well

Agreed please bring the month view to the modern Sharepoint sites. We are trying to ditch creating classic sites but because of this omission we are unable to do so -

Please bring the month view to the modern Sharepoint sites. We are still creating classic sites because of this omission. Our folks do not like the Events view.

Any more thoughts on the monthly calendar, Sites Production Team? This missing tool is an enormous gap in the product. In the 50+ sites I've built in the last 18 months, it's the #1 request from my clients... And the iframe hack is an unimpressive stop-gap.

We rely on our old sharepoint calendars in full month view for planning vacations in our department. We are new to 365 and tried a work-around in new sharepoint and created groups in 365 outlook app to try to create new calendars but the current view pulled into SP is useless: it doesn't give us a good visual to know where we might be able to ask for vacation time (which isn't an issue now during pandemic, but it will be!). AND the 365 people groups/calendars aren't visible in the outlook 2013 desktop app that most of the staff use. Please help!

It would be useful to be able to have an overview of events for the month - something more visual, with fewer details, and something that takes up less space on the page. At the moment we're simply embedding the Calendar app onto our sharepoint page so that we can see the whole month of events.

Yes! please add a monthly view for the group calendar in SharePoint and the ability to increase the limit higher than 10 items in the current view, but preferably having a monthly view will solve this problem.!

I can't 'upvote' this enough. There are a lot of use cases I can think of off the top of my head where a team would want to display an entire month view of dates. We use a list Calendar to track reservations for our labs and folks want monthly views (and the ability to scroll previous/next month) so they can see availability. AND be able to create new event in that window. Being able to use a webpart on a modern page for this -which also contains other information (address, hours, contact info, document, links, etc) - is a no brainer. Yes, you can send your users to the calendar page, but why? The fewer clicks, the better. I know I can 'embed' but it brings over the whole page layout which is not attractive embedded into a webpart. PLEASE modernize the calendar functionality in SharePoint!

As you keep thinking how to develop this one, please keep in mind that Events may also have aggregated events from other sides (hub events pulling events from other sites), this will be a must needed

Is there any news about the month view calendar?
We want to convince our users to leave behind the pages built on the old Sharepoint 2010 and create "new experience" pages, but we cannot offer a convincing solution to the pages that show monthly calendars. -

I NEED to be able to add my Group calendar to the Home page of my Sharepoint group site AND have it look and function like it does in my Outlook calendars: being able to select daily, weekly, or monthly view at my (or others discretion), color-code events, add/delete, etc...
The current setup of the calendar 'app' to add in is completely useless. I recall I used to be able to add full calendars to SP 2010. How is it that SP got worse not better??
