Prerequisites and API information

To add a calendar, you need to have some special rights. We use Microsoft's Graph API. We check for calendars against the following endpoints:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/calendarGroups
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/calendarGroups/${group.id}/calendars

It is possible to test calls as a logged in user here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer

If you have questions about rights, it is easiest to contact Microsoft support with the information above

Displaying private meetings in Exchange calendars

In Microsoft Exchange calendars, meeting titles and private status are hidden by default for meetings marked as "Private". To allow PLAYipp to display these meetings correctly, an Exchange setting needs to be adjusted.

Note: This requires running a PowerShell command by an administrator with the appropriate permissions in your Exchange environment. This setting cannot be configured through Microsoft's graphical interface.

How to do it:

  1. Open PowerShell Launch PowerShell as an administrator on your computer.
  2. Connect to Exchange Online Run the following command and sign in with your administrator account: 
    Connect-ExchangeOnline

     

     

     

  3. Apply the setting Paste and run the line below. Replace the email address with the address of the relevant calendar: 
    Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity "room.name@company.com" -RemovePrivateProperty $false

    This setting needs to be applied for each calendar where private meetings should be displayed.
