MicrosoftHi,
Shared calendars definitely work on those devices!
It sounds like the information you received from Support is incorrect.
In order to have the shared calendar sync to your mobile device, you need to accept the sharing invitation using Outlook on the web, iOS, or Android. So in your case, from Outlook on Android, search for the sharing invitation you received & click Accept again.
After re-accepting, you should see the calendar appear in your list of calendars.

Any thoughts?
- Julia ForanHi, I just tried repro'ing this on Oreo and it worked for me. Here are the steps:
1. From an account hosted in Office 365 (user A), login to Outlook on the web
2. Share the calendar to another user (user B) who is hosted in Office 365
3. User B opened Outlook for Android and clicks the Accept button shown in the app
4. User B sees User A's calendar in Outlook for Android
Note: both accounts must be hosted in Office 365, and you must be using the above listed apps (using 3rd party apps will not work)- Yes that is what we tried. It only worked when I went back to the invitation and clicked Accept.
I was wondering how the readding back of the shared calendar worked on other devices lower android but not in Oreo without going back to the invite.
I just readded the shared calendar in desktop owa and went back on the phone and reset tge account.
Have you tried the steps that i gave you? Without using the calendar invite email?- Julia ForanIn order for shared calendars to sync to a mobile device, you must accept from the sharing invitation using Outlook on the web, iOS, or Android. Just opening the calendar from any of the Outlook apps will not make the calendar sync to mobile phones.
