How to Show Only Event Titles in SharePoint Calendar View
Question details
The user wants to know if it is possible to configure a SharePoint Online Calendar view to hide the start and end times and only display the event title.
- Product
- SharePoint Online
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Customizing the display settings of a calendar view to create a cleaner visual interface without time clutter.
- Observed behavior
- By default, the SharePoint Calendar view displays both the event start/end times and the event title, with no obvious built-in toggle to hide the time details.
Ensure you have the necessary site owner or member permissions to edit lists and modify views in your SharePoint Online site.
Understanding SharePoint Calendar View Limitations
Learn about the current display limitations in standard SharePoint Online Calendar views and how multi-day events are handled.
Currently, SharePoint Online does not provide a native setting to hide the start and end times while displaying only the event title for single-day events in a standard Calendar view. The system is designed to show these times by default.
However, SharePoint handles multi-day events differently. In some monthly calendar views, the specific times are automatically omitted to save space when an event spans across multiple days.
If exact timing is not strict, configure your event to span across multiple days. When viewing the calendar in monthly mode, SharePoint will often display just the title without the specific hours.
Since this feature is not natively supported, visit the official Microsoft Feedback Portal (feedbackportal.microsoft.com). Navigate to the SharePoint forum and submit a suggestion to request customizable time displays in Calendar views.
Manage Your Schedules and Documents with WPS Office
While SharePoint handles enterprise web architecture, you might prefer a simpler way to design team schedules. WPS Office provides a free, lightweight, and highly compatible suite for creating custom calendar templates, managing spreadsheets, and editing daily documents without rigid display limitations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use JSON formatting to hide times in a classic SharePoint Calendar?
No, JSON column and view formatting is a feature of modern SharePoint list views. The classic SharePoint Calendar app does not natively support JSON formatting to remove the time portion from the monthly grid layout.
Why do some of my events not show times in SharePoint?
SharePoint automatically hides the specific start and end times for events that are marked as 'All Day' or span across multiple days to maintain a clean layout in the calendar view.
Are there third-party tools to customize SharePoint calendars?
Yes, there are multiple third-party SharePoint Framework (SPFx) calendar web parts available in Microsoft AppSource. These often provide advanced customization options, including the ability to show only event titles.
