Can't simply search for and view others' calendars

Office365 calendar web app seems to have changed so I can no longer just search for a colleague's calendar and view it on top of mine. The search is now just searching calendar items, which isn't something I need to do often. If I need to view a colleague's calendar I need to go to import calendar, which first shows me lots of sports to choose from, from where I have to find "From directory" before being able to search for my colleague's name. This seems like a hugely retrograde step. Is this supposed to be a work tool? It doesn't seem to be configured that way. I work with a few hundred people, so selecting from the list of "My calendars" (if I've previously looked at theirs) is not an option. It used to be great, but if I could use a different app for work calendars I would right now.

  • I'd agree that going over all those additional steps is a bit annoying... Best leave feedback on the new experience directly from OWA, or over at UserVoice.

    Request your colleagues to Share there calendar with  you. This option is at the top right of the calendar view. mffff

      All the calendars are shared, it just takes too long to add them to the calendar. I have a list of about 50 down the left side of the panel (My calendars) but no way to quickly get the one I want.
