Question

I can not see information on shared calendar

Penny Goodstein 20

My husband shared his calendar with me. He sent an e-mail. I accepted the calendar.

Although it is checked in "other calendars" the information does not show up on my calendar.

When I click the 3 bars on left of calendar, my calendar and Dan's calendar show. I have clicked on Dan's calendar. Nothing shows up.

When I do this:

In Calendar, select Home.

In Manage Calendars, select Add Calendar > Open Shared Calendar.

I do not SEE "Manage Calendars" under "Home."

There is no where to "add calendar" except where it already is- under the 3 bars, "other calendars."

I tried to share MY calendar with HIM. I was informed we are already sharing.

WHY CAN'T I SEE THE EVENTS HE PUTS ON HIS CALENDAR?

Answer 1

If the shared calendar is checked under Other Calendars but no events appear, try these steps:

In Outlook, remove the shared calendar from the view:
- Right-click the calendar under Other Calendars.
- Select Delete Calendar.
Have the calendar owner share the calendar again.
- In classic Outlook, the owner can go to Calendar > Home > Share Calendar.
- Add the recipient and choose a permission level such as Can view all details.
Accept the new sharing invitation from the email message.
- After the invitation is accepted, the shared calendar should appear in the calendar list.
If Outlook still does not show the calendar contents, add it directly:
- In Calendar, select Home.
- In Manage Calendars, select Add Calendar > Open Shared Calendar.
- Enter the name of the person who shared the calendar.
If using Outlook mobile, shared calendars only appear if the invitation was accepted recently from Outlook on the web, iOS, Android, or Windows 10 Calendar. If needed, search for the calendar and add it directly in the app, or ask the owner to re-share it and accept again from one of those supported apps.

Note: opening someone else’s calendar directly in Outlook on the web can add it to that view, but calendars opened that way do not appear in all Outlook clients. To make it appear across Outlook clients, the owner should share the calendar directly and the invitation should be accepted from the message.

Dear Penny Goodstein,

Good day! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum!

Based on your description, I understand that your calendar does not display husband shared calendar.

To make sure I provide the correct guidance, could you please let me know:

Could you please share the content of the 'You have been invited to share this calendar' notification email with me?
Do you see a 'View calendar' button in that email? If so, have you clicked it? Are you able to view your husband's calendar?
Has your husband attempted to remove you from the calendar sharing list and add you back?
Is this issue affecting anyone else, or is it occurring only for you?
Are you using the Outlook desktop application or the web version? Are you using the Classic Outlook or the New Outlook?
Which subscription plan are you currently using?

Your confirmation would be very helpful in ensuring you receive the most suitable support!

I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing how things are going!

Thank you for your time and patience.

I'd like to share my calendar with you

I'd like to share my calendar with you

Dan (e-mail) would like to share an Outlook calendar with you.

You'll be able to see all details of events on this calendar.

Do you see a 'View calendar' button in that email? If so, have you clicked it? Are you able to view your husband's calendar? Yes I have clicked it many times. The computer acts like it is accepting. When it finishes, and I click “view calendar” nothing happens. When I go to the calendar, only my events show.

Has your husband attempted to remove you from the calendar sharing list and add you back? Yes, we have removed and reshared several times. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled. Nothing works.

Is this issue affecting anyone else, or is it occurring only for you? I am the only person involved.

Are you using the Outlook desktop application or the web version? Are you using the Classic Outlook or the New Outlook? Outlook web version. I go to “Outlook.com” to access. I think I am using Classic. I CAN open a desktop version, but I have the same situation- Dan’s calendar shows under “other calendars” but the events do not.

Which subscription plan are you currently using? I do not know How do I determine that?
