Make a Shared Calendar in Outlook

You can share Outlook calendar events with any contact or email address! To do this, you'll need access to the Outlook mobile app--or the Outlook website--and your login credentials.

Steps

Sharing an Outlook Calendar Event (Mobile)

1. Open your "Outlook" app. If you aren't already logged in, you'll need to enter your Microsoft email and password.
2. Tap Calendar. This is on the bottom of your screen.
3. Swipe the calendar down.
4. Tap a date.
5. Tap +. You'll find this in the top right corner of your screen.
6. Type in an event title.
7. Tap the switch next to "All Day". Only do this if it is pertinent to your event.
8. Tap the "Time" tab.
9. Adjust the selection edges. Doing so will increase or alter the span of time your event covers.
   • You can also tap the "00:00" icon in the top left corner of this window to select a starting time and an ending time.
10. Tap the check mark. This is in the top right corner of the Time window.
11. Tap "People".
12. Type in a contact's name. You can also type in an email address to share your event with non-Outlook users.
    • Repeat this process for as many users as you'd like to invite; if you have an email list, you can add it instead.
13. Tap the check mark.
14. Tap Location.
15. Type in a location.
16. Tap the check mark.
17. Tap the switch next to "Skype Call". Only do this if your event is centered around a Skype call.
18. Add an alert and a description. Both of these are optional, but they will help remind users of your event.
19. Tap the check mark. Doing so will share your event with anyone listed in the "People" tab!

Sharing an Outlook Calendar Event (Desktop)

4. Double-click a day's square.
5. Add defining details to your event. These include:
   • An event title
   • An event location
   • A start and end time/date
   • Repeat settings
   • A reminder
   • A description
6. Click the "Add people" field. This is on the right side of the screen beneath the "People" heading.
7. Type in a contact's name.
8. Click your contact's name. If it doesn't appear, you can also type in their email address.
   • You can also click + in this field to add contacts from a pop-up menu.
