Groups calendar sharing
It's not yet possible to share an Office 365 Group Calendar, the other teachers should join the Group to access the calendar for now.
Or you can send the .ics file but that's not the same thing.
Adding interest to this - many group members at my university prefer to use external applications to manage classes and other obligations. Not being able to subscribe to a group calendar is problematic.
Same here. Gone to all the trouble of setting up a group calendar and then discovered I can't invite external users to even view.
A real limitation.
The idea of having an Office 365 Group dedicated calendar, but that calendar is unavailable to guests is preposterous. How can you collaborate on a time-sensitive project when the whole group can't see the calendar & deadlines? Even if I could just publish a read only anonymous view like a resource calendar would be better than this!
Similarly: why is it when you send a meeting request to an Office 365 group, recipients have an option to add it to their calendar, but can't respond to say if they will attend?
I can send a meeting request from my calendar to guests to request responses but have to know and type in the name of each member (can't expand the group like you could with distribution lists) - but then it doesn't show on the group calendar, unless I invite the group.
Absolutely, this is a big drawback. We should be able to share the calendar of the group with outside members, so they can monitor the activities of the group!
