This. this is the issue we're having in this thread. We pay WAY too much already for Office products to be shipped with broken basic features, and I'd be damned to support their bad practices by also paying a random developer on the side to fix their crap. That's a hard no my friend. Sorry.

Everyone has their own approach. You can either wait for Microsoft to fix the issue, or you can use alternative solutions.

VirtoCalendar offers more than standard calendars. It allows you to create a personalized view with overlays of important calendars. Additionally, you can create temporary calendars for projects or events based on SharePoint lists.

In fact, you can merge all types of calendars, including external ones like Gmail from subcontractors, and more.

You have more freedom to customize interfaces, making them more convenient, ergonomic, and always accessible, while still working with MS Exchange and SharePoint.

These views can be tailored for teams, added to Teams, or SharePoint Sites. You can color-code them, customize display options, and more.

It's important to note that all of this operates within the Microsoft security paradigm. This means you can utilize the Microsoft security system and avoid sharing your data with third parties while using VirtoCalendar.
