With Shifts in Microsoft Teams, create a schedule, assign shifts to your team members, copy and reuse shifts, and add open shifts.

Schedules and groups

  1. To create a new schedule:

    • Select Create a new schedule to build one from scratch.

    • Select View to choose an existing schedule.

    • Select Create on the team you want. You must be a team owner to create one. 

  2. Select Add group to organize your schedule based on a job type or location. 

  3. To name the group, select More options  > Rename group, type a group name, and then select Save.

  4. To add people to a group, select Add people, choose someone, and then select Add
     

    Tip: When you rename a shift's group name, people are automatically assigned tags that match their schedule and shift. This lets you @mention anyone currently on your shift in a chat or channel of a team. See Using tags in Teams to learn more.
