Shared Calendars added to Outlook 2016 not synced to Outlook on Mac
Julia Foran should be able to tell us whether it's supposed to work on Macs.
MicrosoftBryan, can you please add screenshots of what you're seeing? If you accept in Windows, those calendars should also appear in Outlook on the web at least. From what you said above, it sounds like they are not appearing anywhere else?
- Julia,
I have added screen shots in the post below. This is a really big issue for us. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bryan- Julia ForanHi Bryan,
I don't recognize the client from the very first screenshot. It appears to be a SharePoint calendar site maybe, but it's not any of the Outlook clients. This is probably why you don't see it appearing anywhere else.
Mac Outlook does not yet display the shared calendars that users see in Outlook on the web & Windows. They're currently working on fixing this, but in the meantime, your users will have to go open each shared calendar in Outlook for Mac.
To view the calendars on Outlook for Windows & web, I would recommend your users accept the sharing invitations from the web.Hi Julia,
Your response here may address my question. We share specific calendars housed in a shared mailbox shared with our students. The mailbox itself is not shared with the students, just the faculty, so that the faculty can edit the calendars.
Our students with Outlook for Mac don't seem to be able to access the calendars that have been shared with them. We share the calendars by right clicking the calendar, from within the shared mailbox in OWA, and selecting Sharing Permissions.
Having the student click the Add a Shared Calendar button on the toolbar and attempt to add the shared mailbox, doesn't work.
Is there any way at all for the students to access the shared mailbox calendar from Outlook for Mac?
Julia,
Yes they are not appearing anywhere else. I will provide screen shots.
Connect to Outlook is greyed out.
On the web there isn't the shared IT Calendar.
Nothing in the Mac client
I can provide any other information that you may need. Thanks for looking into this!
Bryan
