   • If your email account uses Exchange, you will see Publish This Calendar, instead of the option to publish to a WebDAV server. This lets you publish your calendar directly to an Exchange Server. In the window that opens, select the publishing options you want, and click Start Publishing.

   • If you're using Microsoft 365, you can still publish your calendar to a WebDAV server, but you must first remove{Anonymous:CalendarSharingFreeBusySimple} from the sharing policy. This will prevent you from publishing your calendar to Exchange in the future, however.

3. In the Location box, enter the location of the WebDAV server, select any other publishing options you want, and then selectOK.

Share your calendar in an email

If you don't want to give someone permissions to share your calendar and see updates, you can email a static copy of your calendar for a specific date range. The recipient will be able to see the events on your calendar at the time you sent the email, but not any updates you make after you send the email.

Note:This feature is no longer available with Outlook for Microsoft 365.

1. SelectCalendar.

2. SelectHome > E-mail Calendar.

   

3. In the Calendar and Date Range boxes, pick the calendar and time period you want to share. For example, choose Today only or for the Next 7 days.

   

4. Set any other options you want, and then selectOK.

5. In the new email that opens, add who you want the message to go to in the To field, add a message if you want, and select Send.

The person you sent your calendar to will see a snapshot of your calendar in the message.

The message also includes an attached iCalendar (.ics) file that they can open in Outlook or another calendar program. When the recipient clicks the iCalendar file, Outlook displays the file as a new calendar that they can view side-by-side with their calendar. They can drag appointments or meetings between the two calendars and find a time that works for both of you.
