Shared Calendar Appointment Detail Not Displaying In Outlook 2016
We are having an issue where group members can only see "Free/Busy" for event details in our shared Group Calendar in Outlook 2016. They are able to see full event details when accessing the Group Calender in a browser. I can't seem to find an answer anywhere of why this is occurring. Anyone know what I might be oerlooking?Group Calendar in Outlook 2016
Is this how Group Calendar should work? I open Group Calendar from Outlook 2016 client (ver. 1803) with Open Calendar >> From Address Book. In Group Calendar I can see my own personal calendar meetings as busy/out of office. Why my own meetings/appointments are showing in the Group calendar? Also some O365 Group Calendars are listed under My Calendars in Outlook 2016, but some I need to explicitly open and then they are added then under Shared Calendars. Where is this inconsistency coming from?Invite who you want in group calendars
Good news! We've heard your feedback here on Tech Community as well as UserVoice that you really just want to: Put something on a shared group calendar Pick whomever you want to invite, which may not be the group itself. Over the next few days, you will have more options when managing your group calendar: Just invite anyone you want. If you want to invite the entire group, simply add the group to the attendees list. This change gives a lot more flexibility to the group calendar surface: Invite no one: this is good for putting milestones on the calendar as a visual reminder that it's coming up. If you want to add a copy of it to your own personal calendar, you can "Add to my calendar". This is also great for a vacation calendar, where you can create a ? vacation ? event on the group calendar. "Brownbag-style events": A lunchtime learning session is typically not mandatory for attendees, but is required for the organizer and the presenter. Now, you can create an event on the group calendar and add specific individuals without adding the group itself to the attendees list. This way, those individuals will get an invite from the group, and group members can freely add the event to their calendars. This is also good if you want your vacation time on the group calendar, as well as your manager's calendar. Invite the group and anyone else: For group meetings where you'd like everyone in the group to attend and edit, this is best. This is particularly handy for recurring meetings that take place over the course of many months where the a single organizer may not be around for its entire desired lifetime (i.e., if someone goes on vacation or leaves the team). Across Outlook, not much is changing: In Outlook for Windows, removing the group from a group meeting will now, in fact, actually not sent the group an invitation. In the new Outlook on the web, we've updated the tooltips to match the functionality. In the classic Outlook on the web, we won't be supporting this update. In Outlook for iOS and Android, group calendaring is coming soon. 😉 Try it out, and let us know what you think! Cheers, EthanSmall group shared calendar does not update
Hello, I just migrated a client to 365 from exchange on prem, were trying out office 365 groups for the first time and having a TERRIBLE experience with the shared calendar. This is a small law firm that handles all of their bookings through the shared law firms calendar, and within 2 days they had 5 meetings double booked due to the shared calendar not updating in peoples outlook desktop. The group was set up and the calendar added under everyones outlook calendar tab. half of the users could not book the calendar even though they had owner rights in the group. We had to rebuild their outlook profiles to get the shared calendar to work. Now, even though they can add appointments directly to the calendar from desktop outlook, the other users have to leave their calendar, click on the group in outlook and open the calendar from there, and as soon as they do the group calendar updates in the calendars tab. one suggetion I found online was to disable downloading of shared folders in outlook account. I did this last night and they are going to test today... If this does not work we will be ditching groups and just creating a sharepoint calendar for their team to use.
Delete, unshare, or hide an Office 365 Group's calendar
I see that when creating an Office 365 Group that a calendar is also automatically created for that group and that it appears in the list of calendars for all members of the Group regardless of their follow status of the group. My users would rather not have any calendars for Groups. How can I remove or hide them for the members of the Group?
O365 Group Calendar-Turn off notification when inviting multiple people
We are tyring to use group calendars to book labs and track trainings. Our scenario is that we are trying to use group calendars to show all of the times we are using a lab or when we have a training. I want to make an event that is on my personal calendar but also is on a training calendar and then on a room calendar and ideally I want to create one event and use the invite function so it shows up on all of the corresponding calendars. I can create it on one shared calendar and uncheck the 'send to group' option but only if I don't invite anyone/any other group email because it is otherwise greyed out when inviting multiple people. After a single event is created, I can then right click the event and select 'copy to my calendar". If I then choose to forward to a third calendar, it will still trigger an email/event request to everyone in that group calendar. Basically, is there a way Microsoft will change it so the 'send to group' checkbox is able to be deselected when inviting multiple people and calendars to an event.
O365 Group - multiple calendars?
Hello all, Full disclosure - new to Office 365 Groups and newer than new with Sharepoint in general, but I believe we have a use case in our organization, I am just trying to flush it all out. I have a group of 5 trainers that are mostly remote and cover different geographic areas coordinating different training seminars. Currently they use Google Docs and Calendar for everything. I am thinking I can replace this with an O365 group - but I do have a question. Is it possible to have multiple calendars within a O365 group. I believe we have 5 or 7 geographic areas that we run these seminars in. In their google account they have 1 calendar per region where they track the seminar schedule. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks Steve
