You can share your Outlook calendar with specific people to let them view your availability or even manage your events. Here's how:
-
Navigate to Calendar: At the bottom of the Outlook page, select the Calendar icon.
-
Access Sharing Options: At the top of the page, click Share and then select the calendar you wish to share if you have multiple calendars.
-
Add People: Enter the name or email address of the person you want to share your calendar with in the designated field.
-
Set Permissions: Choose the appropriate permission level for the person you're sharing with. Here are the common options:
- Can view when I'm free: This lets them see only your availability, without the details of your appointments.
- Can view titles and locations: This allows them to see the titles and locations of your appointments, but not other details.
- Can view all details: This gives them full access to all information in your calendar events.
- Can edit: This gives them permission to create, change, and delete events on your calendar. Be cautious when granting this level of access.
-
Share: Click the Share button to send the invitation with the chosen permissions. The recipient will receive an email invitation to access your calendar.
Important Considerations:
- Privacy: Carefully consider the level of detail you're sharing when granting permissions.
- Revoking Access: You can revoke access at any time by removing the person from the sharing list.
- Organizational Policies: Be aware of any organizational policies regarding calendar sharing, especially when sharing with external parties.
- External Sharing: If you're sharing with someone outside your organization, they might need a Microsoft account to view the calendar, depending on your organization's settings.
