Feb 07, 2019Hi, you just need to be using Outlook for iOS or Outlook for Android to add or view a shared calendar.
1. From the Outlook app, tap to vie your calendar list.
2. You'll see an icon in the top-left that is a Calendar+ icon. Tap that.
3. Click "Add shared calendar".
As long as your mailbox is hosted in Office 365, you can add the calendar of any other user, conference room, or shared mailbox within your organization that is also within Office 365.

This appears to work now with existing shared calendars without having to go through the re-inviting and re-accepting process mentioned in earlier posts.

Mapsjohn: Correct- with the new option in Mobile, you can just add / open from Mobile without having to re-share & re-accept.
