How to Remove Date or Time from SharePoint Events Filmstrip View

Maira Mehtab Sep 20, 2026 868 views

Question details

The user wants to remove the date or time displayed on the SharePoint Online Events web part when using the filmstrip layout.

Product: SharePoint Online
Device & OS: not provided
Scenario: Customizing the display of the Events web part on a modern SharePoint site.
Observed behavior: The filmstrip view persistently displays the date and time, and modifying standard date columns or view settings does not remove them.

Before you start

Ensure you have the necessary administrative permissions (such as Site Owner or Site Collection Administrator) to deploy custom SharePoint Framework (SPFx) web parts or run developer scripts on your site.

Solution 1Recommended

Deploy a Custom SPFx Web Part

Since out-of-the-box settings do not support hiding the time or date in the filmstrip view, using a custom SharePoint Framework (SPFx) solution is the standard approach.

The built-in SharePoint Events web part does not offer a toggle to hide the date and time in the modern filmstrip layout. To achieve this specific look, developers must create a custom SPFx web part that mimics the event rollout but omits the unwanted fields.

Explore SPFx Customizations

Consult your SharePoint development team or external developers to create a custom Events web part utilizing the SharePoint Framework (SPFx).

Deploy the Custom Web Part

Once developed, upload the custom SPFx package (.sppkg) to your organization's SharePoint App Catalog.

Add to Your Site

Navigate to your target SharePoint page, click 'Edit' in the top right corner, and insert your new custom events web part in place of the default one.

Developer Resources: If you are not familiar with SPFx, consider searching for existing open-source web parts in the SharePoint Patterns and Practices (PnP) repository on GitHub.

Solution 2

Seek Community Support for Custom Scripts

Leverage the Microsoft Q&A developer community to find pre-built PowerShell or custom script solutions if you cannot build an SPFx web part from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I hide the date and time using standard SharePoint list view settings?

The Events web part in SharePoint Online is designed with a hardcoded modern UI layout for the filmstrip view. Standard list view modifications or hiding columns do not affect how this specific modern web part renders its default fields.

Can I use CSS to hide the date in SharePoint Online modern pages?

Modern SharePoint pages do not support adding a traditional Script Editor or custom CSS out-of-the-box due to security and performance restrictions. You must use an SPFx extension, such as a modern Script Editor web part, to safely inject custom CSS.

Where is the best place to find custom SharePoint web parts?

You can find custom solutions and community-built web parts on the Microsoft Q&A SharePoint Development forums, or by browsing the open-source SharePoint Patterns and Practices (PnP) repositories on GitHub.
