Hi Julia Foran

We're able to share a calendar with other Office365 users in our organization.

The updates sync readily between desktop Outlook 365 where we can view and edit, however, on Outlook for iOS, we can only see the event as "BUSY" -- we're not able to see the subject or the detailed description in the event from the iOS app. Is this a known limitation? Are we not sharing the individual calendar correctly?

Thanks for any insights here,

Randall

HiRandallM Julia Foran i am facing the same issue: Outlook on iOS shows the events as free/busy.

Latest Outlook and iOS version.

Any advice?

Thank you.

  dimitrispavl1400 Do you have permissions to the calendar only, or do you have permissions to the entire mailbox?
