regarding the state of shared calendars on mobile devices
Hi All, Did a bit of searching and I can't find anything on any advancements in regards to shared calendars and getting them added to mobile devices easily through outlook app or default mail app...

I can use SharePoint room list. This provides way to add calendar items using outlook or web. you do not need to assign any seperate licensed for this.

I initially wanted to use a Shared Mailbox or Resource mailbox for this task but it is specifically the viewing and adding of entries to the calendar on Mobile devices (Specifically iPhone in this case)- Maurits KnoppertJan 30, 2017Iron Contributor

I think I mis inderstood you. I tried it with the calendar from my account. And I tried to add en new Calendar to my account and shared it with someone else.
With those two options the other person can add the calendar to his shared calendars and the calendar is vissible on his phone in the dedicated mail app.
I never tried it with a calendar for a resource.Maurits
- Antony TaylorJan 30, 2017Steel ContributorOk no problem Maurits,
Thank you for trying though! It still sounds like it is an improvement and in the worst case scenario I can still use a "Personal" calendar shared to multiple people as the solution for "Shared calendar in default iOS Calendar App"
