how to share outlook.com calendar
Hi!
I have new clients that are using calendar sharing through outlook.com. They are having a problem getting one of three accounts shared. It shows as shared in the settings but nothing shows up on the calendars. Here all some details I believe to be true...
There is no exchange server. They have registered their own domain e-mail address with Outlook.com. They started using the calendar on outlook.com and then shared it by clicking on "share", then highlighted there calendar they want to share and then typing in the person's e-mail address they want to share with. Two of the three people can see each others calendar (and it updates both ways just fine) but the third person can't see the other two and they can't see hers.
One person is using Office 365 and the other two are not! I'm wondering if the problem has something to do with this???
This is the first time I have even run into outlook.com calendar sharing (good to know). It looks super easy to setup but I can't figure out why this 3rd person can't see the other two peoples calendars. Keep in mind I did not originally set it up so maybe I'm missing something that's obvious but I'm not seeing it.
Thank You.

the problem was that no one ever accepted the e-mail invitation weeks ago. I found it in their e-mail and it was never opened. Problem solved.
I am confused on as to who can use this service though. I setup a new calendar of my own at outlook.com. I don't have a register copy of office or outlook and I was able to share it with people, no problem. Looks to me like anyone can use this online calendar sharing service. Maybe it takes certain licensing when it's running in conjunction with a desktop Outlook version? It's a bit confusing!
Thanks for all the help. :-)

this is a url for offie365 calendar--notice the difference
https://outlook.office365.com/owa/?realm=mydomain.com&wa=wsignin1.0#path=/calendar
and this is for outlook.com's calendar (hotmail.com or live.com)
https://bay04.calendar.live.com/calendar/calendar.aspx
anyone who has a live, or and msn.com or a hotmail or an outlook.com account can share their calendar and/or their files with anyone else who also has an account here
https://outlook.office365.com/owa/?realm=mydomain.com&wa=wsignin1.0#path=/calendar
and this is for outlook.com's calendar (hotmail.com or live.com)
