How to sync calendars with another person

When you share your Outlook.com calendar with people, they're able to add it directly to their calendar view in Outlook. Depending on the permission you give them, they can view your calendar or edit it. You can also share your Outlook.com calendar with others by publishing your calendar and sending them a link to a webpage or a file.

If your Outlook.com calendar won't sync in Outlook on Windows or you can't edit a shared Outlook.com calendar in Outlook on Windows, see My Outlook.com calendar won't sync or I can't edit a shared Outlook.com calendar.

Note: Sign in to Outlook.com using any Microsoft account, including email accounts ending in @outlook.com, @live.com, @hotmail.com or @msn.com. If you have an Microsoft 365 work or student account, see Share your calendar in Outlook on the web for business.

    Notes: 

    • When sharing your calendar with non-Outlook.com users, such as Gmail users, they will only be able to accept the invitation using an Outlook.com or an Microsoft 365 account.
