MicrosoftShared calendars now sync to mobile phones
We are rolling out a feature update that enables shared calendars to sync to mobile phones. This update will make it possible to sync all your Office365 shared calendars to your mobile phone for any ...
Does this apply to shared resource calendar's as well? My current app that I use, OWA for iOS, says that it will be retired on May 15 so I have switched to Outlook for iOS, but I cannot see a shared resource calendar that am owner of (there are four owners so we can all edit the calendar).
Any advice you have would be welcome. Thank you!

MicrosoftYes, it applies to shared resource calendars as well. You'll need to login & share the resource calendar directly to you (or the admin can do it via a cmdlet), and then you'll need to accept that sharing invitation from Outlook on the web, iOS, or Android.
We are investigating simpler ways to get this setup that doesn't require re-sharing the calendar -- stay tuned!

The cmdlet is the Add/Set-MailboxFolderPermission cmdlet (documented here). When setting permissions on a calendar folder, you can use the -SendNotification $true parameter to send a sharing invitation email, which would be equivalent to logging into the room mailbox & sharing from there.
