Hi joao_ramos,

yes, you can share your calendar with external accounts without having an organization relationship configured. This is because Exchange Online allows you to share your calendar with anyone who has an email address.

However, the level of access that you can grant to external accounts is more limited. For example, you cannot grant external accounts access to the subject or location of your calendar appointments.

If you want to share your calendar with external accounts and grant them access to the subject and location of your calendar appointments, you need to configure an organization relationship with the external organization.
