How to Use Teamup on a Mobile Browser

You can use Teamup on any web browser or with the Teamup app (iOS, Android). At times you may wish to access your Teamup calendar on your mobile device without using the app. Here’s how.

Open Teamup on a mobile browser

Open from the Teamup app

Three mobile phone screens show the Teamup app: Left sidebar with a gear icon in the top right; App settings with Calendar URL highlighted; App settings with Open calendar in browser option highlighted.

To open a calendar in a mobile browser from the Teamup app:

  1. Swipe or tap to open the left sidebar.
  2. Tap the gear ⚙ icon to access app settings.
  3. Tap Calendar URL, then tap Open calendar in browser.

You can also get the calendar URL from the dashboard:

  1. Swipe or tap to open the right sidebar.
  2. Tap Dashboard.
  3. Find the calendar on your dashboard and click the gear ⚙ icon.
  4. Tap Copy calendar URL.
  5. Open a mobile browser and paste the link into the address bar.

To open a calendar link directly:

Option 1: If the link is in an email or text message, tap to open it on your device.

    • You may be prompted to choose which mobile browser you want to use.
    • If you have the Teamup app installed, your device will usually open the link in the app by default. To avoid this, long press to open a context menu and copy the link. Then continue with Option 2.

Option 2: Open your mobile browser, then type or paste the link into the address bar.

Note: If you open an account-based calendar URL, you’ll be prompted to log in on the mobile browser.

Use Teamup on a mobile browser

Reasons to use a mobile browser

  • You want the same look and feel of the calendar on your mobile device as on the desktop.
  • You are most comfortable with using Teamup in ways that are consistent on both mobile and desktop.
  • You received a Teamup calendar link but would prefer not to set it up in the app.
  • You want to access the calendar settings, which are not accessible from the Teamup app.
  • You want to save an event to the default calendar application on your device, e.g. iCal on an iPhone.
  • You want to access Teamup on a tablet/iPad with the full web client experience.

Tips for using Teamup in a mobile browser

In a mobile browser, you can interact with Teamup as you would on a laptop or desktop computer. All features and functions work in the same way. However, the smaller screen size can make calendar use a bit different.

  • Experiment a bit to find the best way to view your calendar on the small screen. Day, List, Agenda, and Scheduler view tend to work well on smaller screens.
  • You can create and modify events, access settings, use event signups and comments, and upload files or images when using a mobile browser.
  • Make use of the Sharing options that allow you to save the event to your personal calendar or to share further via social media apps, email, or as a web page.

Four mobile phone screens show the steps to add a desktop shortcut to an Android device

Make it easy to open a calendar in your mobile browser anytime by creating a shortcut. Depending on your device, these instructions may vary:

  • Open the calendar in your mobile browser.
  • Tap the Share menu and select Add to Home Screen, OR
  • Tap the menu button in your browser and tap Add to Home Screen.
  • After creating the shortcut, tap the Teamup icon to access your calendar.

Add a Teamup calendar shortcut to your iOS device homescreen

You can add multiple calendar links to the home screen, resulting in multiple Teamup shortcuts. Give each shortcut a different name to differentiate between them. Your Teamup shortcuts can be placed side by side on your home screen or organized in a Teamup folder, if you prefer.

Note: Shortcut icons show the Teamup logo with a white border, whereas the Teamup app icon has a green border.

Return to the Teamup app from a mobile browser

You can alternate between viewing your calendar in the Teamup app and a mobile browser on your device. If you have the Teamup app installed, your mobile browser may show an app banner above the calendar.

To return to the app, tap the button or link in the banner.
