Originally posted by Microsoft Mar 10, 2021 SharePoint Online 0 Comments

The Events web part on SharePoint pages and news posts will have an option to show images.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 70791. 

When this will happen

We will begin rolling out to Targeted release (select user and organization) in late March and expect to complete for Standard release in late June.

How this will affect your organization

SharePoint page authors who use the Events web part can enable an option to show event images within the web part. When enabled, each Event shown in the web part will display the image used in the title area of the Event page.
