How to add company holidays in MS Teams

Once permissions are in place, In the Microsoft Teams admin center, go to Org-wide settings > Holidays.


  1. Select New holiday.
  2. Enter a name for the holiday.
  3. Select Add new date.
  4. Under Start time, select the calendar icon and choose the date when you'd like the holiday to begin.
  5. Use the drop-down list to select a start time for the holiday.
  6. Under End time, select the calendar icon and choose the date when you'd like the holiday to end.
  7. Use the drop-down list to select an end time for the holiday. The End time must be after the Start time.
    1.  Note: If the holiday is for one full day (i.e., a 24 hour period), the End time should be set to the next day and the time to 12:00 AM. For example, if your organization is closed on January 1 for New Year's day, set the Start time to January 1 12:00 AM and set the End time to January 2 @ 12:00 AM.
  8. Optionally, add more dates for recurring holidays.
  9. Select Save.
