Tech tip #52 - Sharing calendars in Outlook/Google

Hello all,

Many of us use an on line calendar and need to share it with someone else or a group and this is quite easily done using our Office 365 Outlook system. This could be useful for a department or a boarding house team etc.

If you would like to have a shared calendar for a group, our advice is to create a calendar in your account for the group and then share it with the appropriate people using the appropriate settings. If you want others to be able to add/modify items in the shared calendar, make sure you allow “edit” in the sharing settings.

I have created a short (2 minute) video showing how to do this: https://www.screencast.com/t/jAk8azhFBii

One of the things we have discovered is that sharing a Google Calendar with our system does not work very well and is not recommended.

Let me know if you have any questions, or would like more information. If you need help, feel free to contact anyone of the Ed tech team folks.
