Group Calendar in Outlook 2016
No you are missing it, it is nothing that simple. I hope below screen shot from my Outlook 2016 explains it better. My own calendar on left, in middle my colleague's calendar and on right the Group calendar. We both are members of that Group.
For example on Thursday I'm busy 9-10 and my colleague is busy 10-11. In group calendar that is presented as busy 9-11.
On Tuesday I'm out-of-office the whole day, so that is shown in Group calendar (doesn't matter that I have meeting 11am-2pm, I'm still unavailable whole day).
Thursday I just have a private placeholder which I marked as "free", and as my colleague does not have anything scheduled that time, the Group calendar is showing that as free for both of us.
So Group calendar is taking appointments/meetings from our calendars and presenting them in aggregated view and showing when either one of us is not free... This is really confusing now when we are trying to market O365 Group calendar as the replacer of the traditional shared Outlook calendar.
I'm having the same issue. Did you ever get this resolved?
I have same too
The question is in outlook 2016 how can you add office 365 group calendar in the normal view ???
I managed to resolve my problem by adding the Group calendar as a Favorite.
In Outlook 2016, open calendar then click the 3 dots at the bottom and select 'Folders' view, now find the Group calendar you want to add, right click on it and select 'Add to Favorites'.
Open your Calendar in normal view and you should see the Group calendar listed under 'My Calendars'.
For some reason when it's added there it works.
Hope this helps.
THANK YOU! Stephen Harling
