Open a Shared Calendar in Microsoft 365

Last modified 7/24/2024

When a calendar is shared with you, and you both are in Illinois State University’s email system, you will receive an email with the subject “I’d like to share my calendar with you.”.

Illinois State University’s Microsoft 365 Calendar can be accessed through the web, via an email client (such as Microsoft Outlook), as well as via mobile devices.

To Open and View a Shared Calendar

You will receive an email with the subject “I’d like to share my calendar with you”.

The message will state “(ULID), (Name) (ulid@ilstu.edu) has invited you to view their Calendar.

To view the shared calendar, you will need to click the Accept button at the top of the email.

The Microsoft 365 Outlook application will open, and you will now see your own calendar along with the shared calendar.

If someone in Microsoft 365 shares their calendar, the recipient will have a link to click to view the Calendar.
