TeamCal is your team's shared calendar, with a large-screen dashboard for your operations center. Everyone works from the same schedule, changes reach every screen within a minute or two, and each person can add the calendar to Outlook, Google Calendar or their phone.

Quick start checklist

New to TeamCal? These five steps take about ten minutes. Tick them off as you go.

Create your password. Open the link in your invitation email and choose a password of at least 8 characters (the link works once, for 7 days). After that, sign in with your work email and that password. No email? See Signing in.
Bookmark the calendar and the dashboard. Open the calendar and the dashboard, and press Ctrl+D (Cmd+D on a Mac) on each to bookmark it.
Put the dashboard on a monitor. On the monitor's PC, open the dashboard, sign in and leave Keep me signed in ticked. Press F11 for full screen (F11 again leaves it). For a screen that only ever shows the dashboard, start the browser in kiosk mode: chrome --kiosk or msedge --kiosk --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen followed by the dashboard address. See The wall display dashboard.
Add the calendar to your phone. iPhone: open the calendar in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. Android: open it in Chrome, tap the three dots, then Install app or Add to Home screen. Open it from the home screen and sign in once more.
Sync with Outlook or Google Calendar. Open My account and copy your private calendar address. Outlook: Calendar → Add calendar → Subscribe from web, paste it, Import. Google Calendar (on a computer): Other calendars + → From URL, paste it, Add calendar. It is one-way and refreshes every few hours. See Outlook, Google and phones.

TeamCal is an in-house application by Dan Knudsen; the team's Admins decide who has access. See Ownership and security.
