To natively see others shared calendars within the calendars tab alongside yours - Microsoft have only confirmed they are working on it per the uservoice, so could be some time until we see this surface. Nothing was mentioned previously at Ignite in November so we'll have to wait and see
I would personally love to see this functionality
