Using the web Outlook Calendar as a PWA

Can you please tell me how to install the web Outlook Calendar as a separate PWA (with its own app icon) on Microsoft Edge?   Outlook Calendar (web) URL: https://t.co/fn5YBBLz1coutlook.office.com...

  1. Create the Outlook PWA.
  2. Edit the properties of the shortcut.
    • Desktop Shortcut: Right click and select Properties
    • Taskbar Shortcut: Right click, then from the menu that pops up, right click again on "Outlook (PWA)" and select Properties
  3. Update the Target to: "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome_proxy.exe" --profile-directory=Default --app-launch-url-for-shortcuts-menu-item https://outlook.office.com/calendar/view/week

Here's a list of chromium command line options. Chrome is built off chromium, so thinking most of these would also work with chrome.

    This simpler form works too:

    • "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome_proxy.exe" --profile-directory=Default --app=https://outlook.office.com/calendar/view/week
