How To Share a Calendar in Outlook

You can share calendar information with other people by using Outlook in several ways. You can choose the method that is best for you, depending on the type of servers that you and your recipients have access to. When a colleague at another company wants to schedule a meeting with you and they can’t see your Outlook calendar, you can send a snapshot of your calendar or, better yet, an invitation to subscribe to your calendar in an email message.

Calendar sharing is not limited to the default Calendar folder that is created in all Outlook profiles. You can create additional calendar folders and choose which of those folders to share. For example, you can create a calendar folder for a specific project and share it with your co-workers. Optionally, you can grant them permission to modify the events and appointments in the calendar.

2. From your Calendar folder, on the Home menu, select Share Calendar.
