Issue/Question
- How do I publish my calendar in Exchange Online?
Environment
- Oregon State University
- Exchange Email
Explanation
If you'd like to share your Exchange calendar with others, you can choose to publish it. By following the process below, you can allow people to see your current appointments via the web. This can be useful if you have a need for individuals on campus, off campus, or even people outside of the university to view your calendar.
Before sharing your calendar in this manner, especially if you opt to display full details of the appointments, it is a good idea to verify that you won't be sharing any sensitive personal or confidential information.
