Up from GroupCalendar version 5.37 it is possible to embed GroupCalendar into a CRM entity. GroupCalendar will display all activities for which the currently opened record is set as Regarding.
In this mode, all users will be listed in the GroupCalendar’s Gantt and TopDown View without the option to hide some of them.
Also, you cannot change the displayed users/team when opening the GroupCalendar from an entity.
