How do I book a meeting room for an invite that has been sent to me
We use room resource calendars for our room bookings. Usually we just add the meeting room into the location field or even as a participant and it books the room. When we get meeting invitations from external parties not in our organisation (e.g. suppliers) that will visit us, we'd like to book a meeting room for that visit. How do we do this? The only way we can currently do this is by creating our own duplicate calendar entry for the meeting and choose that room as the location, but we'd like to find a more integrated way, rather than having two separate unlinked calendar entries. With separate calendar entries, if the external meeting initiator changes meeting time, we have to manually change our own related calendar entry which we forget to do resulting in room being booked for wrong time. Any solutions or suggestions to help with this problem?
Categories in Group Calendars
Hi all We use group/team site calendars heavily within our organisation and departments. Up until recently, users have been able to tag/categorise calendar entries within group calendars that they are a member of. In addition, each calendar could have its own set of tags. I.e. "Accounts Department" calendar could have tags set for Meeting, Payment Due, Contract End etc, and "Sales Department" could have tags on their calendar for Client Call-back, Sales Visit, Training etc. This has all been done via Outlook Online (Tags still seem to work fine from Outlook 2016 / Outlook for Mac) so I assume this is an update issue. However, this all disappeared over the past few days. If a user now goes into and existing entry in a shared calendar, the existing tag shows but there is no options to change it or remove it. If creating a new entry, the option just isn't there at all. It is only visible on user's personal calendars! Is anyone else experiencing this, or have any suggestions of a work around? Many thanks!

Outlook ICS description being overridden
Hi there, I'm sending emails with ICS attachments. And facing problems like: Outlook does replace my DESCRIPTION/X-ALT-DESC by the email content automaticaly. So Outlook does create Calendar event automaticaly based on .ICS attachment BUT REPLACE/OVERRIDE the DESCRIPTION. Expected behaviour: Show original DESCRIPTION/X-ALT-DESC from .ICS attachment. When automatic Calendar event created. Current behaviour:Override .ICS DESCRIPTION/X-ALT-DESC by shortened unformatted email body. Questions: 1 - Is there a way to do what is expected by adding someX-MICROSOFT** flags to the .ICS? 2 - Is there a way todo what is expected by Outlook/Calendar client config? Note: I've already tried to specifyX-ALT-DESC instead/together with DESCRIPTION ICS file is valid and being consumed well by othe Calendar client (google e.t.c). No overrides.
Remove terminated users from recurring meeting invite
Hi All, Is there any way to remove the terminated user from the existing recurring meeting invites? We have few users who left the organization but still appear in some recurring meetings. Their accounts and mailboxes were deleted long back but still their names showing in the meeting invite. I know that meeting owner can update the invite but I wanted to know from Admin side, is there any way to do it without asking user to do it?
Manager's team calendar - hierarchy permissions to see details from top-down
Hi, I have a question about Manager's team calendar and how it's supposed to work. The manager would like to see all the details of the calendar events of who report to him, but currently by default the manager can only see "free/busy". Idea is to make the org hierarchy work by equal level people not see each other's details, only free/busy, which works right now, but the higher level manager should see everyone's details under him. Hierarchy is already set-up correctly. Is that possible? If yes, how?
import caldav/ics calendar
Hi, I am using Nextcloud with a calendar. So, there are two ways to share this calendar: With a .ics subscription or with caldav. So, I tried adding the calendar (from internet) to outlook 365 (web version) using caldav. But, there I get an error "could not be imported". Maybe because of lack of authentication for caldav? Then, I tried importing the .ics subscription link. This works! But: The calendar items are not synced to the calendar app in MS Teams! Any ideas how to get this work? Thanks in advance!The Extremely Useful Meeting Follow Response
The Follow response is a new option for people invited to a meeting to indicate that they can’t attend but are interested in what happens. Replying with a Follow response means that the user gains access to the meeting artifacts (like the chat and recap). It also means that the allotted time is not blocked in their calendar. The feature will be most valuable to people who have heavily-used calendars. https://office365itpros.com/2024/05/14/follow-response-meetings/
