Posted on August 7, 2020 by Madalina Dinita Leave a Comment

Sharing calendars in Office 365 helps companies to make sure no tasks are being forgotten or overlooked and deadlines are met.

  2. Right-click on My Calendars or click directly on Add Calendar and then on Create a blank calendarcreate new calendar office 365

You can then enter the email address of the person you want to share the calendar with the customize the permissions settings.

Learn More About Calendar Permissions Settings

When sharing the calendar outside the organization, there are three permission levels that you can choose from:

  • Availability only — use this setting to show only the time
  • Limited details — shows only information related to time, subject, and location of the events
  • Full details — meaning that users can view all the details in your calendar such as time, subject, location, and more.

You can always change the access levels of the calendar by right-clicking the respective calendar and then selecting Permissions. You can then use the drop-down menu to edit the permission level of the users you’re sharing the calendar with.

Useful Tip: If you’re sharing the calendar with a person outside your organization and both organizations are federated through Office 365 or Exchange, when they get your invitation, they can add your calendar to their calendar view, as well as share their calendar with you. That’s a useful feature that allows companies to better synchronize their actions.

And this is how you can create and share a calendar in Office 365.
