Creating a Department shared Calendar in Office 365?
I still prefer SharePoint calendars but you do have Mac limitations with Outlook sync, but other than that they work fairly well.
You also can use just a standard Shared calendar setup in Outlook for this as a resource too.
Do you guys utilize SharePoint already, or Teams? etc?
ChrisWebbTech Its all about adaption Chris, be it a SharePoint Calendar or an Office 365 Group. BTW Office 365 have more dynamic features & keep adding comparing to SharePoint calendars.
- Not saying it's not a solution, just depending on the situation Groups are meh. And honestly, I don't see them getting expanded on much going forward. I think they are more confusing for most users than using existing calendars. Hence why I asked if they used SharePoint or Teams already, if not then Training the Office 365 Groups method probably the route to go, but there are some variables here.
Thanks for the great feed back BTW.
What I am looking for is a way to share a department calendar with about 200 users. I would also appoint a few select people to be the ones to administer the calendar (add events, delete, etc...). I am thinking only 5 people would be the admins of this calendar. The rest would only need to view it. I want the calendar to just automatically show up in their office 365 outlook.
Yes, the users also have smart phones as well.
I would like to keep it as simple as possible so I thing Sharepoint & Teams is out. These people are like robots and don't really care about learning something new.- I would look into old fashioned resource / shared mailbox. You can add everyone access and i want to say it’ll show up in outlook with read and not just full access but I can’t recall. Then you can give the five people Delegates access.
