Why can’t I use “People in my organization” sharing for non-default Outlook calendars?

Category: Outlook

The “People in my organization” sharing option is only available for your default Outlook calendar. Newly created calendars must be shared individually with specific users.

🧭 How to Share a Non-Default Calendar

To allow others to view a secondary calendar, follow these steps:

  1. Open your Outlook Calendar
  2. Click the gear icon in the upper-right corner
  3. Go to Calendar > Shared Calendars
  4. Under Shared calendar, select the calendar you want to share
  5. Click Share
  6. In the Sharing and Permissions screen:
    • Add the names of users you want to share with
    • Set their permission level to “Can view all details”

📌 Important Notes

  • The “Add to Directory” option may be required for visibility across the organization
  • Users must manually add the shared calendar to their view
  • Permissions must be explicitly set for each individual
