Enhancements to O365 Groups Calendar in Outlook - Never miss an event sent to a group.
- Jan 26, 2017
Ivan54 - It is unlikely since we are just beggining the rollout of this feature to have impacted what you are saying. Also, when a group event is created in O365 group, currently, only the users who have subscribed to messages from that group would get that in their Inbox and it would show up in their calendar. In other words, unless the calendar invite lands somewhere in the user mailbox, it wouldnt show up in their calendar. Is it possible that the members are subscribed to the messages and may have missed the invite or it went to another folder?
Hi! I am wondering if there is a way, now or in the future, to have the group calendars and personal calendars separated. We do NOT want to see all the entries in the group calendar in our personal calendar and for the moment this is preventing us from rolling out group calendars within the company.

Like others here we too are stuck still having to use Public folders due to how Group calendars function.
We have a company calendar and often you may just want to add an appointment. That's fine as this seems to work as intended from Outlook by starting it as an appointment and not adding any invites. From OWA you have to deselect sending to the group.
The issue for us, like many others here again, is that you may have appointments or events that while do require users to be invited, because they need to attend or for supervisor and manager approval, simply do not require the whole group to be invited. The group just needs to be able to to see the events on those group calendars for status purposes.
Anyway this is keeping my company from being able to finally get rid of Public Folders and move to groups. Sending calendar invites to the entire group, when you specifically deselect the group and pick just users you wish to receive it, is UNACCEPTABLE.
