The Microsoft 365 Groups workspace connected to modern SharePoint team sites provides a shared calendar. You and every member of your group can schedule a meeting on a group calendar in Outlook.
A group calendar enables you to see multiple calendars at the same time. For example, a group calendar is helpful when you schedule a team meeting, because you can see the availability of team members and conference rooms.
